Can my older Mac Pro 1,1 run a 3TB internal hard drive?
Hi fellow Mac people,
I've got an older Mac Pro 1,1 (bought in 2008), and I'm about to upgrade the 250 GB main HD that came with the machine to a 3TB Western Digital Caviar Black. My various bits of music software - Logic, NI things, Finale - are running slowly these days due the main drive being almost full now. I have two main questions:
1. Will the older Mac Pro's work with a HD that is bigger than 2TB?
2. I'm going to upgrade to a new Mac Pro in about twelve months. Will these new Mac Pro's also work okay with a 3TB HD? The Apple Store people told me that they can only recommend that I stick with 2TB HD's, which seems pretty **** limiting these days!
Thanks a lot for your help.
Cheers
