You could do as I did and split the system drive and have two (or more) boot partitions and try them out to see which works for you. I keep the ML partition as I have a couple of programs that need it. I do all my work now in the Mavericks partition and it's been plenty stable with PT11.3.1. Haven't tried the later revisions of Yosemite and wiped out that partition. At one time I actually had three partitions with OSX 10.10.2 but deleted that as it was very unstable. One is OSX 10.8.5 which came with the machine and the other is OSX 10.9.5. I actually have my system drive split into two boot partitions. Would you, or anyone else know what OS is the best for PT 11? OS 10.9 or 10.10?ĭidn't know Apple put a 4TB spinner in their machines. I'm going to avoid OS 10.11 (El Capitan) for now for obvious reasons. Thank you for letting me know there are issues there, as I did not know that. Definitely going to max out the (RAM 32GB) with 3rd party. Definitely no fusion drive, as I've read here about all the problems. I was basically debating whether to get a 4TB 7200 RPM drive or the SSD. The iMac I'm looking at is a refurbished machine, and I can choose a few options on it such as the drive, OS, RAM. I'm curious - do you have access to a couple of different machines (refurbs maybe)? I ask because you're talking about an older machine no longer available new from Apple. iLok's have been known to have issues on USB3 ports and the usual remedy is to get a USB 2 hub, connect the iLok to that and the hub to the computer. One area you might have a problem with is if that iMac has USB3 ports. Very important do NOT get a Fusion drive for the system drive as they are death to PT.

Another is do not buy Apple ram with the 27 inch model you can install your own ram and it won't violate AppleCare. You could theoretically record to the ssd but I wouldn't do so for long term. You will need a separate non-green drive for PT to record to. As to speed of PT being faster on an ssd or spinner on the ssd once properly setup things will respond faster and PT will start faster. The iMac you cite is basically an updated version of the one I run it should run PT11/12 no problem.

Do Pro Tools 11 and 12 run significantly faster with a SSD? I have the option of choosing a 7200 RPM drive, or a 512GB SSD. I want to run Pro Tools 11 (and in the near future, Pro Tools 12) I have done some searching here and I believe that the computer that I'm considering will run what I need it to run, but it isn't listed on the Avid Pro Tools Compatibility Chart, hence my reason for posting this question here.

Basically, I want to be as certain as possible before I upgrade so that I minimize the possibility of running into any potential problems.
I'm considering upgrading my computer and I have a few questions that I'm hoping you all might be able to help me out with before I do it.
