Hi am ready to pull the trigger and order a 3ghz with 2gb ram and stock 320gb hard drive which I would use for Photoshop/lightroom and some game play.
I will upgrade to 16gb of ram (8x2) but I am not sure what hard drive configuration would be best for me. I would probably use the 320gb apple hard drive for boot camp. What other drives would you suggest? Should I get a raptor or barracuda for my boot drive. What other drives should I also have particularly for my photos. Not sure if RAID is necessary but I will like to hear your advice on that also. As for a backup solution, I have been reading about Drobo and it seems like a perfect solution to attach to my AEBS but as you know AEBS wont permit NAS. Hopefully this will be rectified with the a new firmware revision when Time capsule is released. Barring that, what backup solution would you recommend? I am relatively new to the world of Macs, although I do own a 20" Imac.
Thanks for your help
