Re: [Logic_Cafe] Mac Pro 2008 vs. iMac 2011

2011-05-30 by Irfon-Kim Ahmad

A lot of this seems to have been addressed in the new models.  The RAM 
is now user-upgradeable and they have instructions online of how to do 
it.  It looks pretty simple.  (Nothing else is user-upgradeable except 
the RAM, mind you.)  Also, they provide the two new Thunderbolt ports 
now, which are meant for high-speed storage.  I don't know that there 
are any Thunderbold RAID chassis available *right now*, but there are 
several announced and coming.  So that'll be the way to go for 
additional storage in the long run.
