I currently use an external SSd USB drive with absolutely no issues.

I don’t think there are any specific drive recommendations so long as its
firewire /Thunderbolt. That being said i been using a USB drive for years with
no issues.

Oh I'm definitely not the right person to talk about external drives.
When I bought mine, I was using Reaper which is way less finicky about
recommended hardware, so I went with the middle ground between good
price and a decent enclosure, and that was that lol. It's a Western
Digital MyBook with Firewire 800, USB2 and ESATA. Very much a standard
issue drive other than paying a wee bit extra for Firewire, but it's
always served me well enough. I'm sure others will have more recent
and PT specific recommendations though.
Keep us posted

Hi Scott,
According to motu 64-bit is supported. Man it is astounding they keep
updating that box, but i'm pretty happy about it.
Not to highjack my own thread here, but i'm open to an external hard drive
recommendation since you brought it up. :) i have done a lot of reading on
the avid forum, but there isn't as much talk about what they think about
drives with 12.
Thanks man,
Shawn

Hey Shawn,
I wouldn't call that machine disappointing, there are plenty of folks
making good music with a lot less power at their disposal. Mac OS and
PT tend to take less background resources than what you've been seeing
from Sonar on Windows. You'll need to have your audio on a separate
drive from the OS, but other than that, you should be good to go.
First thing to check about that MOTU interface is whether 64-bit
drivers have been released. Google can help you find that out. So far
as I know, there's no way of booting back to a 32-bit colonel in
Yosemite as there was in previous iterations of Mac OS, so the driver
issue has started to be a bit of a dealbreaker for some gracefully
aging interfaces.
Hth a bit

List,
I'm making the plunge into protools, (another convert from sonar and
windows).
I have available for my use the following Mac book Pro, non-retina
display,
OS Yosemite, 16 gig of RAM, and perhaps somewhat disappointing, a Intel
I
seven quad core 2.2 processor. So now that the machine in question has
been
identified I will move forward with my inquiries of you.
1- do you have any speculation or experience as to how a motu 828 MKII
FireWire interface will react with protools 10, voiceover and Yosemite?
Yes
I already know these are elderly interfaces. However, I have always had
good
experience with them and their stability. If it does not or will not
work,
that is another matter entirely...
2- assuming I need to go another route, what would you recommend as far
as a
FireWire or thunderbolt interface? My parameters are stability, ease of
use,
and portability. I need something which would at least house 2 preamps,
as i
travel and hate packing a lot of gear.
Thanks,
Shawn
