Hoping there are fairly priced Thunderbolt 2 cases to recycle this internal drive, but the Thunderbolt 2 gear is disappearing fast, unfortunately. I would need a Thunderbolt 2 or USB3 external case, but would not like to hobble the drive or at least get most of its' performance. but with track freeze and commit by sessions drive has been bloating like crazy. Since I will be replacing the existing SSD blad, I could make it my sessions drive and just do more house cleaning to keep under 500GB. at this point I am on Mojave and plan to move onward when the time is right. I see these drive blades get pricey from OWC/Mac sales. I would think there are good options out there. I am new to the 2013 Mac Pro and I don't know which blades are best, or the differences between.

Maybe a 2TB internal would be better, then I could have the Mac OS system variants and Samples on that SSD as well, and use an external for the Mac OS Clones/Sandbox, but I do like when the sample are easily moveable to another computer. it is not like I can just slide different Mac OS drives in/out on a sled like my 2010/2012 Mac Pros. I like to have a safe sandbox, especially once a system is in production, so I can test/experiment with OS or PT config variants.

I was thinking I should replace the internal with a 1TB and make it 2 Partitions (1st for production, 2nd for Mac OS / Pro Tools variant/testing). In addition for the system drive, I need space for:Ī) active sessions (1TB, currently use ~ 600GB)ī) sample library (2TB, currently use ~ 1.1 TB)Ĭ) clones of Mac OS System disks (2x500GB, currently using ~ 400GB due to d) sample Library bloat and general file system clean up required)Į) testing scratch/temp space for audio/video temp/download/imports/cleanups, etc. Only a 500GB blade in this 2013 Mac Pro, which is enough for the system disk, but that is it. Also I see Sonnet has a new chassis coming out next month, so I should find a solution one way or the other, fingers crossed.

hard to come by, and I hear the Thunderbolt 3 version is trouble with the TB2TB3 adapter. Looking for a Sonnet Echo Express III-D PCIe Thunderbolt 2 chassis. I upgraded a used quad core 2013 Mac Pro to a 10 core (only took an hour, processor ~ $150 on eBay, need to peel off a label hiding torx 4 heads for the spring retainer, why Apple?), and upped RAM to 64GB. Hoping for more gas for VIs with the 2013. My existing systems are Mac Pro 2010/2012s. Currently building a Pro Tools Ultimate system with HDX Cards using a Mac Pro 2013.
