Topic: noob question

im going to upgrade my 2010 mbp to a ssd and get an external case for the old one to use as a scratch drive. so on my ff800, i would just attach an external firewire 800 compatible hdd enclosure by fw800 into the fireface?

also, what size ssd would you reccomend for logic and stuff?

cheers,

or just use the 400 port = enough? HeadScratch

Re: noob question

it's maybe better to connect the hdd to usb and leave the fw-bus for the FF800. Pretty much any SSD will do for Logic, depending on your use of samples you might want to get a fast one - not just something that saves you battery and heat. As they say, size doesn't matter, but somehow we kinda know that bigger is still better because you won't have to copy to the old drive so often. Use the external drive as a backup and the SSD as scratch and system drive.
