First I just wanna say thanks to everybody on this site. I just joined but, have already learned a ton just from poking around. It seems as if everybody here is very patient, and informative...now that the requisite ass-kissing is over , lets get down to business...
So I just recieved my 15 inch Powerbook G4. It's a 1.67 Ghz model, with 2 Gb of Ram, and a 100 Gb 7200 rpm Hard Drive. I am currently awaiting my M Box2 (factory bundle) with Pro Tools, via UPS. I have read the documentation on the digidesign website, and have read that it is strongly suggested to get an external/additional hard drive, instead of using the internal boot drive. But is it necessary? I got the larger internal drive hoping that it might be sufficient. If not I can live with that. I'll spend the money if I must. So my next question is this...is pro tools compatible with usb 2.0 external Hard drives? Or can you ONLY use firewire/sata/whatever else they list drives. The usb 2.o's are cheaper for more storage than the firewire models. But I definently believe you get what you pay for. And what about internal drives placed in shells? That seems to be the cheapest/most economical option, but I don't know nothing about that stuff. Is it hard to do?...what is my best strategy here? |

It does show up in "disk utility.
I'm not sure about the jumper. That is the section in between the main cables (there are only 2 cables in my enclosure, a r,b,b,y,one, and a ribbon...should there be an adiitional one?) ? I believe it is set to "cable select"...master. There is a black connector over the second pairing of pins. That is the way it came out of the box. The diagram on the HD says that if I put it over the first pairing of pins it will be MASTER=on Slave= off...is that the way it should be configured? If so what is the best way to change that connector? Also what is HFS+? |
