500gb portable hard drive image

Nik

ok, i really want to buy Logic Pro 9 for my mac to do recording and such, but i know i dont have enough memory on my mac to instal it because i only have the 64GB mac. if there anyway to instal Logic Pro 9 onto my 500GB portable hard drive instead of my macs hard drive? i dont want to spend $200.00 and then realize i cant install it.

Answer
Logic Pro 9 comes with huge collections of libraries, which means program itself isn't that big; around 1 GB or less.

Other than that you can pretty much install on an external drive if you have any.
If you still don't own please make sure you buy one with:

SATA or eSata port - if your Mac supports those connection or you have enough money to get PCI cards for the port. Second choice would be Firewire 800 then USB2. and it also depends on what kind of audio interface you are using.

7200RPM or more; no 5400RPM
which means 2.5 is not recommended - it limits number of the samples you can play simultaneously.
but if you think you won't max out the spec you can go for it.

plan accordingly

Ticking noise made by portable hard drive?

Johan Jivm

I have a 500gb portable hard drive which for some reason is making a ticking noise every one or two seconds. I plug it in to my computer, and it can't be located anywhere but I do hear a ticking noise every second. So is there any chance of me fixing the hard drive at all and if so how??? Many thanks.

Answer
Obviously it might be faulty/damage. Just bring it the the nearest repair computer station maybe they can do something about it.
