Hard Drive Requirements
For a list of qualified hard drives, see our
Web site (www.digidesign.com/compato).
If you are using an ATA/IDE or FireWire hard
drive, initialize your drive with Windows Disk
Management (Windows) or the Disk Utility ap-
plication included with Apple System software
(Macintosh).
Avoid Recording to the System Drive
Recording to your system drive is not recom-
mended. Recording and playback on a system
drive may result in lower track counts and fewer
plug-ins.
Hard Disk Storage Space
Mono audio tracks recorded with 16-bit resolu-
tion at 44.1 kHz (CD-quality) require approxi-
mately 5 MB of hard disk space per minute. The
same tracks recorded with 24-bit resolution re-
quire about 7.5 MB per minute.
Recording at higher sample rates (88.2 kHz or
96 kHz) requires about twice the hard disk
space.
Table 2 lists the required disk space for certain
track numbers and track lengths, to help you es-
timate your hard disk usage.
Digidesign does not recommend recording
to the system drive. Record to a system drive
only when necessary.
