Well if you were comfy paying $200 for a hard drive then Appleprices make perfect sense for you.
the last time i bought a hard drive for a mac pro was probably 2012.. it was certainly more than $50.. a lot more iirc
and it's not so much about how comfy i am.. i buy what i need to do what i gotta do.. if you hire me for cad/designwork/construction then some of my fee pays for my computers.. so it's more like how comfy you are when hiring me.
[edit]
though i do see i got a spinner back in 2007 for $119..
along with a couple GB ram

I'm talking about accessing entire sessions... With the 250 GB of internal storage, or even 500, I can only install apps but certainly don't save / open up sessions from. Or do you think people buy the Mac Pro for browsing the web and writing articles?
Glad to see you learning things.
I just looked at Newegg. While a 1TB HD can be had for less then $60, a TB enclosure is a multiple of that.
See, that is why people were (are) so steamed.
But if you are eager and willing to pay $200, it all makes sense.

It's about time this thread turned in one about car audio. I still have this setup!
Now how do I use TB cables to connect it to an nMP?
you missed the part where i said "that may or may not be of use in your case"
?
you guys need to get off the whole "the bigger the number, the better such&such is" thing.
i'm willing to bet i spend much more time working on a computer than you.. i generate anywhere from 5 - 50MB data per day.
here's a (dropbox) snapshot of my autosaves on a single file over two hours:
(note- sometimes file size shrinks while the project is continuously moving forward.. crazy huh?)
..this file will get another round of work done on it shortly pending project approval.. final file size will probably be around 15MB..

Indeed. This isn't any more off-topic than the preceding 20 pages.
or, you don't recognize what the thread's topic is.
the mods around here aren't really too lax about people posting off-topic stuff in threads.. they'll delete posts for that offense..
how many posts have you noticed being deleted from this thread?

[edit]
ok @zephonic ..heres' something that might actually be off topic itt..
so i keep trying to like my joke from earlier but it won't let me..
..what the heck is up with that?
: )

What is this supposed to prove exactly?
If I download a DVD that is 4 GB don't I win?
You would have to tell a joke first to come back and "like" it.

2-point deduction for not having balanced connectors! I love that heat sink and the calibration pots! Have you had to "DeOxit" much over the years? I've always wondered if these amps were "over soldered" etc. to survive the road vibration. I'll bet there are no "tin whiskers" to be found in that unit.
Assuming you don't live somewhere in which the fastest internet access you can get, for any price, is 4-6/1Mbps, and the idea of cloud file storage or offsite backup is laughable.
it doesn't prove anything.
dude insinuated a 500GB drive is only capable of holding a real user's applications.. certainly not enough to work from unless you're a blogger.
that's baloney.
really? nobody gets that joke?
: (
laugh at it.. i don't care.. i simply mentioned/reminded an idea that's viable/advantageous for many people.. take it or leave it.
also, it's not a matter of if but when.

Everyone has individual needs, and they are nobody else business. But you all can argue to death about it.
What happened to this thread?
It's now a thread for general discussions of whatever?
A ring for sudden attacks and fighting?
After this round of fights, and some invasions, it has completely lost the connection with the subject.
Please let's make another effort to stay on topic, there are so many interesting things to discuss about the upcoming(?) update...

Right, I don't get the point you're making. I mean this is downright ridiculous how you defends the nMP's storage theme and suggests online for future storage solutions? Right, I will open up my Pro Tools and Final Cut session from an online storage, you're the man.
The current Mac is anything but "Pro" unless you spend another 2 grand on thunderbolt storage solutions (heck, it doesn't even come with a mouse and keyboad, say what?) which is required to work as a professional. And your predictions about the cloud? Man, are you for real? The point of could is to make information available to everybody and make sure it never gets lost, like a vast library of information that can be accessed from anywhere everywhere. Physical storage will never cease to exist because this is the natural state of our world, everything is physical. With cloud, you create a brain like infrastructure that can be accessed by everybody. And guess what is storing information within the cloud? Physical devices. Unless you wanna go all kubrick on me, this is the wrong kind of forum.
The only good things I can say about the new Mac Pro are that it is a piece of Art, it looks beautiful, it is very small, the thermal design going with the updraft is genius, never seen this before, and it runs very cool. And the thunderbolt external drive solution is actually the future but only if the foundation is right, which is not the case with the nMP. I mean, where is the small external thunderbolt raid system with room for at least 2 drives that should come with the nMP, or at least one drive so I KNOW how to actually use this thing as a customer and how about a keyboard and mouse for starters? People whould **** bricks if the iMac came without mouse and keyboard.
I mean, as an Apple customer, looking at the new Mac Pro, it makes me really pick up an iMac, if I had to choose something new from their store. I mean really, all the upgradability and internal storage solution are gone, for a new more visionary, future external thunderbolt solution, I have to admit that. But just from a customer point of view, knowing the iMac exists, I have to spend 3 grand on something that comes with a small internal drive, no display, no peripherals and is barely faster than the iMac that I can get even cheaper, and it is ready to go.
It is like Apple put the final nail in the coffin for their Pro lineup with the new Mac Pro to make sure nobody wants to buy it anymore.
Well, when there is no update / information on the horizon, why shouldn't we reach out a little and keep the conversation going?

Anyone think this is true?? I really hope it is! I need a new rig and it has been painful to wait.

Is this a conversation ?
I think that a conversation must be kept at a certain level to be useful, friendly manners and expressions really help too...

You assume pricing on something that there is no information on. You are quoting retail prices and assume the graphic cards amount for half the price of the machine. Apple pays much less then retail and likely gets special discounts on its parts anyway. Also factor in they could also design their own graphic card before sent to manufacture which could also lower the price. The biggest price involved in workstation graphic cards is for drivers & support and not the hardware. Since I doubt their drivers are not as involved as the PC version it is likely that cost is not passed on to the customer.

Unfortunately this looks a lot more like speculation than any sort of new information.
I would assume as much, yet on the other hand Apple's OS and applications are all free or at low prices, so I'm sure they factor that in with the price of the hardware.

You do know that car manufactures have had various types of legal troubles regarding misleading MPG estimates right?

Very well could be. A slight increase in prices for the rest of the computer line subsidizes its software and services. But I still think its a good deal as its a lowered price shared equally among its whole line.
There is no Skylake CPU available that would be suitable for Mac Pro computer, yet. Those that are interesting in this context are Broadwell-EP CPUs. And they are due for Q4 2015 and Q1 2016. Also TB3 chipset is most important here.
