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.

Are you suggesting the Mac Pro won't sell well because the storage options are insufficient for significant sections of the market? -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.

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!

Oh, yeah, I agree that the MacPro as Apple will ship it will be way more than sufficient for most users. Some users will need to really make use of those 6 20mbit duplex Thunderbolts, sure, but those are people who will be spending $30,000 on a machine to connected it to multiple disk arrays and 4K displays and who know what else. I admit, I am puzzled at the lack of audio in. Is that really right? Are you supposed to use TB for digital audio input? I mean, I don't CARE, I don't use digital audio inputs on my comptures anyway, I just find it odd. -- There is no Humpty Dumpty, and there is no God. None, not one, no God, never was.

Over the last few years there's been a saying "There's an App for that" ... now Apple are moving into a new era with the saying "There's a Thunderbolt or USB adaptor for that".. ;-)

USB will probably more than suffice for a stereo input - there are a lot
of external samplers in a range of qualities and of course price.
One I saw in the store was a $25 USB dongle by creative labs. I'd guess
that's the very low end of the quality scale (and more than adequate for
most home recording) and it goes way up from there with multiport
balanced line inputs/panels/controls/etc.
