Hi all, I would like to purchase one of the new macs (I am not yet sure if it will be a pro or normal macbook) but I would eventually be putting some big sample libraries from Native Instrument on the drives.
I have a question though, Which would be faster, between these two configurations below 1) Upgrading my macbook or (macbook pro), to a 7200rpm drive and installing my libraries on this OR 2) Leaving the standard drive in my macbook (or macbook pro) and getting an external Bus powered Firewire Drive and installing my libraries on this. (The external will be 5400rpm). The idea is that I carry minimal bulk so I do not really want to get an external 7200rpm drive as all these require power supplies which are normally fairly bulky. Many Thanks in advance. |
