As long as you're not doing video. I would need external storage for it. Heck, my iTunes library is larger than that. That said, I'd love one of those new machines and would be happy to use that machine with a decent NAS. -- A ship should not ride on a single anchor, nor life on a single hope

Is there data suggesting that most Mac Pro owners do video? I'd find that hard to believe. I'm a software developer and system administrator, and 1TB of storage is plenty for my needs. At the moment, I've got a 480 GB SSD in this Mac Pro, and I've got 130+ GB free. -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.

Most isn't what matters, what matters is whether significant numbers of them do. And presumably significant numbers do given that a laptop isnt really that viable for a PVR. > I'd find that hard to believe.

No, I don't think so. I would guess most are doing development. But certainly video is a large part of high-end Macs, and always has been. There's a reason the MacPro comes with dual GPUs and can do multiple 4K screens. It's not for XCode. > I'm a software developer and system administrator, and 1TB of storage is > plenty for my needs.

However, the entry level model I think has a 256GB SSD. That's a little small even for 'just' a developer. -- If it wasn't for the pirates, I bet Star Wars: Ep III would have mad $50 million its first DAY!

If you want > performance, you need local storage which it lacks. You're funny, kid. The built-in flash storage would be plenty big enough and fast enough for my day-to-day work. And I'm very sure I'm not the only Mac Pro customer with that sentiment. -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.
