Maximum Performance Guidelines

• Recording to the system startup drive is not recommended or supported
  
• Although limited recording and playback of audio tracks may be possible using the internal drive, a separate external dedicated audio hard drive (or multiple drives) is highly recommended for maximum performance and track count. Digidesign recommends the use of FireWire drives for use with these computers.
