Vision

My workstation 'vision' is going to be for recording in my studio, it will replace 'verve'. I was also thinking of getting 'victory' but I would rather get this Mac Pro. I have other computers.

Storage

Gonna get the base-level 1TB drive that it comes with for system drive.

Gonna put 2x 22TB drives into a RAID1 for archiving videos.

Gonna use 1x 16TB drive in USB enclosure for Time Machine backups.

Networking

This thing comes with 2x 10Gbps Ethernet. Gonna put one on RED and one on ORANGE.

Software

Gonna get Final Cut Pro for video editing and Logic Pro just for fun.

Gonna install VMWare Fusion for VM support. Will use for my electronics VM (Debian) and maybe a Windows VM too (for use in videos)?
