Cool, thanks. I just ordered the 250 gig. I'd like to use it as the system drive, but ProTools doesn't recommend you record to your system drive. Anyone know why that is? Is it really a bad idea?

Thanks.

I've been told that it was recorded in ProTools on a Mac. I'm not sure if it was LE or another version. Are LE and HD the only two versions of Protools?
