The technical support staff has evaluated these devices as a good fit for MCOM students and the program requirements. Other brands and models may work but please use the above specifications. All external drive choices should have USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt connections. The selected drive needs to have a minimum disk RPM of 7200. RPM specification does not apply to solid-state drives. Solid-state drives should have a minimum data rate of 6Gbps to qualify for use with Avid, ProTools, and Premiere editing applications. * All Drives will need to be formatted OSX Extended Journaled to work with Editing Applications. It will make the hard drive unreadable to a Windows Computer so you may choose to dual partition the drives with one partition for MAC OSX and one partition for windows. |
