Hi,

Just got a Mac Pro last week and I'm thinking about adding some hard drives, anyone have a recommendation?

Hoping to not spend too much money at this point, probably just start with 1 hard drive for now and add a 2nd and 3rd down the road.

Thanks!

For a machine of this class, nothing less than 32 drives will do.

As a starting point.

I'll second the Samsungs. got 2 of them for my MacPro: one to swap out for the startup drive (using the stock drive for ITunes and IPhoto storage) and one for video editing. No problems (knock wood) very quiet, very speedy.
