Migration?

Anyhow!

i have a MBP with a 160gig HDD, its the 2.33 model version, im gonna get the ram upgraded within this next month, but i want the biggest possible harddrive, whats the best bet? and also when i do upgrade the hdd i dont want to have to reinstall everything as i have an awful lot on here with it being a studio based mac is it possible to get it all transferred?

Cheers

Hallo thar!

Go for a 200GB 7,200 rpm HDD if you want the best speed as well as a bigger space, or if your not bothered about the speed (not really much difference to be honest) then go for a 250GB or 320GB.

These are all sold on OcUK too (SATA 2.5").

The best thing to do would be if you have Time Machine then you can restore from a backup after a clean install, if not then create an image of the HDD in Disk Utility and restore the image after the new drive install.

Edit: couple of threads that might be useful to you:

Pro Tools HD Now Compatible with Leopard
11/02/08


Digidesign is pleased to announce Pro Tools® compatibility for Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) with Pro Tools HD® 7.4.1 software, the first of a phased Pro Tools update release. Pro Tools HD 7.4.1 software provides Mac OS X 10.5.1 compatibility* with Apple’s current 8-core Mac Pro computers (those featuring Intel “Harpertown” processors).

Expanded Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) support will be announced later, so please wait until official announcements are made before upgrading to Mac OS X 10.5.

Registered Mac Pro-based Pro Tools HD 7.4 users may download the free Pro Tools HD 7.4.1 software update from our website (be sure to read the release notes before updating your system).

Important — Please be aware that some currently shipping plug-ins and virtual instruments are not compatible with Pro Tools HD 7.4.1 running on Mac OS X 10.5.1, and some require that you update your plug-ins if an update is available. Before you install the Pro Tools HD 7.4.1 update, be sure to review the plug-in compatibility and update information here.

* Pro Tools HD 7.4.1 software works with Mac OS X 10.5.1 only, and is NOT compatible with Apple’s new Mac OS X 10.5.2 release. Please do not update your OS until we’ve made an official announcement about compatibility.
