I purchased a "late 2103 Mac Pro" and, because it was in stock and therefore allowed me to skip the several week custom build queue, I took the one with the small internal SSD, planning to use it merely for system files and applications.Īll was good until I noticed how slooow Lightroom was compared to my Macbook Pro. To me, it is the washing up after a meal - necessary but of no interest in itself. So as you can see, I'm no Lloyd Chambers - I have no really thoroughly structured, analysed approach to storage and backup. In the past, I've merely added more internal SATA drives to my old-style Mac Pros and then done a bit of backup here and there.

We need a lot of storage - and if Lightroom is not to be slowed down by treacle-speed disk access, that means fast drives. Trouble is, I'm addicted to high MP cameras and large files and so, increasingly, are an awful lot of the people I know. I'm just a photographer, OK? I want to shoot, process, print and store and I want to do it quickly and reliably. Warning: this is not a review of the Promise Pegasus 2 R6: I never got that far.
