Samsung 850 EVO and 850 PRO are well-proven and very popular among us Pro Toolers:D Having said this, I do use Samsung SSD as the system drive in all my machines, but I still get better performance when sessions are on their own separate hard drive(all my recording drives are 7200 rpm)īack to the i3 for a moment, Pro Tools is a resource hog(as compared to some other DAW software) and some plugins(especially amp sims and some VI's) so your little i3 will get bogged down really quick(i3 is a "budget" cpu and you need power. Not all SSD's are properly high-performance. The better SSD's can handle the extra load as they have no moving parts. These days, you CAN get buy with a single drive, IF(the great big "IF") the drive is a fast SSD(solid state drive). That's too slow for streaming much audio, PLUS, the system drive is also handling a lot of work "under the hood", so take a slow drive, ask it to do 4 times the work=lousy performance:o.

Most laptops have a spinning drive that is 5400 rpm. Some of this is old, but the spirit still matters, BECAUSE: streaming audio takes a lot of drive speed. Is it reasonably simple to do? Or is it sounding like, between needing a faster processor and a secondary hard drive, my Pro Tools First journey is at an end? :( Surely not! Any advice? I'm not sure I'd know the first thing about installing an internal drive on a laptop either. Hmm well my laptop doesn't have a firewire port. If you're recording or playing back from a USB drive and are getting errors in Pro Tools, please switch to using a compatible external firewire drive or internal SATA/ATA/IDE drive and disconnect the USB drive" USB drives are not supported and are known to be problematic, so please do not use them with Pro Tools. If you are using your system drive and encountering errors, the first thing you should do is get a compatible drive. Recording or playback from the OS drive is known to be problematic and the cause of many different error types. "You MUST use a secondary hard drive (not your main OS drive) for recording and playback of audio in Pro Tools.

Second, amagras, I guess when you asked if I was using windows and was the hardware processing audio off the OS, was that to do with this big red scary warning I've copied off the troubleshooting page? Eh ok, well looking at the 'General Troubleshooting' page as directed by the 'Help Us Help You' page it looks like the game may be up, but I'll share my findings here in case I'm not understanding something.įirst issue is that my laptop has only an i3 processor where the minimum requirements say I need an i5.
