posthorn1 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I just ordered a small (2.5") External HD for my new MacBook Pro. With the fast Thunderbolt connection I didn't bother to notice that it's a 5400rpm drive. I was planning to use it to store my 500 gigs of samples and stream from it in Logic 9.1.7 w/ OS10.8. Will this work or is the slower rpm a deal-breaker? (Maybe having the smaller, more portable HD's is not an option with a DAW...) Any thoughts out there?

triplets Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 A 5400 rpm drive for audio purposes is not ideal. With a thunderbolt connection, it would be the same as having another internal HD at 5400 rpm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravity Jim Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 ^^ Roger that. It might work depending on the demands you place on it, but I uke not install a 5400 rpm drive in my system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
posthorn1 Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 Thanks, folks. Not taking any chances. I'm returning it before it's opened... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
