Re: [Avid-L2] todays edit room

 

I never used a Mac Pro for Avid.  I had PCs at the office, and when buying for the house, went to an iMac.  Of course, we are all tapeless, so I just didn't feel I needed the expansion space.  Thunderbolt was fast enough for drives, and anything else I wanted to do.  I didn't need nearly as much real estate, and it was clean. 

In two years, I've not found the desire for any expansion other than wishing I had more Thunderbolt ports, and buying the Belkin device to get some USB3 ports.

Practically everything I get these days is either coming in on USB drives, Thunderbolt drives, or e-SATA for which I have a reader connected via Thunderbolt. 

About the only thing I'd consider an expansion bay for, would be to put some GPU cards out there to help when I am working in Resolve.  But so far, it's not been an issue.

Its interesting people are going to iMacs for Avid work.  I like that choice.  Anyone using an expansion bay with an iMac?
