Specifications

Pro Tools LE Audio File Storage Requirements for Mac OS
IDE/ATA: Full 24 track, 24 bit, 48 KHz performance from just one
dedicated IDE/ATA audio drive is supported on qualified G3 and G4 Pro
Tools LE systems*
SCSI: Using a dedicated SCSI drive and SCSI HBA (Host Bus Adapter)
card will, in general, provide the same performance as an IDE/ATA drive,
with the exception that IDE/ATA drives may take a couple seconds to start
recording 24 tracks. External SCSI drives should be used if you desire
portability.
Requirements for both IDE/ATA or SCSI drives:
● Minimum speed of 7200 RPM & average seek time of less than
10.0 ms
● For 24 tracks, drives must be dedicated for audio (internal or
external)
● Boot drives may be used for audio tracks, however
performance/track count may vary
● HFS or HFS+ file system. Drives should be initialized with ATTO
ExpressPro Tools v2.3.2. If using non-ATTO ExpressPro-Tools
initialized drives, click here for options.
For supported SCSI HBA cards check the compatibility document of
your specific computer model.
*IDE/ATA support is limited to Powermac G3 or later models, which
include a built-in ATA bus. Pre-G3 models that only shipped with SCSI
have not been tested with add-on ATA/IDE controller cards.
