Hi to ewerybody! ...or anybody? biggrin.gif

I'm new to this site, and NEW to Mac... Upgrading from Pc - Cubase and realy feel like a "newborn" when changing platform... Really appreciate anwers on following topic...

MOBILE STUDIO:

Protools 10 and Native Instruments Komplete 8 to run on Macbook pro 17" 2.2Ghz 5500rpm 750GB HD 8GbRAM with Thunderbolt LaCie Little Big Disk Thunderbolt 240GB SSD

How do i configure the mac and how/where to install the software for best performance... "plug and play" or demanding work to get this optimal?
Change internal HD to SSD also?

(MOTU 828mkII firewire 800/400 + Apogee DUO USB2 Yamaha MSP5a monitoring++)

Greetings from Norway!

hi peter.
the applications should/must be installed on the internal drive, but sample content from Komplete, and large protools projects will run best on a fast external drive.
i've got two external drives, one for samples, streaming virtual instruments, and one for linear audio tracks. it's possible that the thunderbolt speed makes two separate drives unnecessary.
i've got no experience with the SSD drives, can't speak to that.
you've got a powerful set up there, enjoy!
