Jim, this all looks very satisfying. Congratulations on setting things up just the way you want them.
Now you can start working on lowering the dollars per note.

1. I have a lot more software than I had back in 2017 which was the last time I did this. 2. I'm trying to avoid installing the non-Silicon compliant stuff until it becomes compliant. The end result is I've spent many hours in front of this computer just working on setting up. On top of that, phasing out my PC added even more work because there was so much from that computer to sort through and organize. I'm still working on that stuff but I'm taking my time with it because I worry about making a critical mistake by rushing (in the past I accidentally deleted a ton of photographs I had taken). I still need to buy a new backup drive. My old one is an 8gb drive but right now I have 4tb internal, a 4tb external, and an enclosure with 5tb worth of ssd drives ...so, 13tb of storage. My old one was a Seagate and it never gave me a problem so I'll likely go with a Seagate again. The Seagate Expansion 16TB External Hard Drive HDD looks a good choice. I think I'm also going to need to buy a new printer/scanner as well. I'm using a Pantum laser printer. I have it networked and can use the printer but the scanner software hasn't been updated for Ventura (or any recent OS) so I can't get the scanner to work. I'm looking forward to some day in the future when I can declare "I'm done."

Since then, I've converted my main audio drives, softsynth libraries, photo storage, and photo editing to T7s. Unfortunately, to date, the largest T7 is only 4 TB, so I've got a fair amount of drives stacked, and as I said, it won't be as cost-effective as the Seagate you mentioned, but I am personally done with spinning drives, so this solution fits my workflow well. It's a different path, but I want to mention it nonetheless. Food for thought, as it were |

Not as fast as my Samsung EVO 960 M.2 (2280) - PCIe 3.0 x4 NVM Express SSD's @ aprox 2800 mb/s read/write. But honestly don't know if that makes much difference in most real world usage situations But if they are silent, then they are much more usable while recording. Because the fan in my OWC enclosure is always on full blast and very noticeable and not at all usable while recording. And given the T7's are $259 for 4 TB-- they are also less money as the EVO 960 were about $150 for 1 TB and then also plus the price of the PCIe enclosure What I have done with my two HD spinners is relegate them to redundant back up of the SSD backup

No fan. The case acts as a heat sink.

Ya I am guessing that with a single SSD that works with my enclosure with 4 SSD's inside the box I assume the fan is needed.
Inexplicably the OWC advertising left off the last bulleted highlight . This sucker's fan is intolerably loud for recording Fortunately I only use it for backup

Now I'm using that enclosure strictly for storage. I have a 1tb drive for all my Photoshop related things (not the program, just the 600gb of backgrounds, skies, overlays, etc., as well as past PS projects), another is for all my photographs, a third will be for all my mp3 files. That leaves me with a 2tb ssd in the fourth slot that still has no set purpose. Having the 4tb internal drive on the Mac Studio is a bit of a stress reliever. On my 2017 iMac, I opted for just a 500gb internal drive. Since it was a dedicated studio computer, it made sense to store libraries and sessions on separate drives from the Pro Tools program. But 500gb was small enough that I had to be careful and pay attention to what went on there.
