Latest macOS - Mojave 10.14 Apple support estimated until 2024 to 2026 SATA external expansion PCIe NVMe SSDs without performance limiting factors. SATA SSDs limited to SATA2 speeds and NVMe limited to PCIe 2.0 speeds Can upgrade to latest NVMe SSDs for increased performance. Storage Can upgrade to latest SATA and NVMe SSDs for increased performance. Launch 2013 - Upgrade not possible Latest AMD Radeon Pro with PCIe 3.0 x16 slots for expansion Graphics Can upgrade to newer models for macOS support and increased performance AMD FirePro D300 / D500 / D700 Up to 128GB per processor DDRMHz / 2933MHz Launch Q3 2012 Intel Xeon W-3200 series 'Cascade Lake'
Launch Q1 2011 Intel Xeon E5-2600 series 'Ivy Bridge' Processors Intel Xeon X5600 series 'Westmere' NVMe Storage = connectivity via PCIe controller.Solid-State Drive - connectivity via SATA3 controller.Hard Drive = Standard spindle technology 7,200rpm.Optional Storage Drive (Hard Drive) - For the larger sound libraries, the traditional platter hard drive is a good choice as they are still much cheaper per GB than SSDs. For traditional spindle hard drives, having your sessions and samples on separate drives can at times improve performance.

Optional Tertiary Drive - Samples (SSD/ Hard Drive) - The performance of one SSD can support both the sessions and samples. The interface is best of any application found, and the application itself offers additional drive tools for taking full control. Secondary Drive - Sessions (SSD/Hard Drive) - If possible, it is a good idea to separate your project files and disk cache onto a secondary drive. An SSD is highly recommended as it will greatly improve how fast the OS and programs startup. Primary Drive - OS/Software (SSD) - Includes your operating system, the base Pro Tools / Logic Pro installation, and your plug-ins. In general, we recommend a two to four hard drive configuration depending on your budget and desired performance level:
