VI Pro and VE Pro Installation Destination

[DaddyO]

When the Product Page for VI Pro recommends a "fast separate hard drive (7200 rpm or SSD drive)," is this to be understood as referring to the installation destination of the program? Or just a general reference to what's needed for samples?

I'm asking because I'm building a new computer with a 7200 HDD with 64GB cache, and two 120 GB Samsung 840 Evo's. One of the SSD's is definitely being reserved for my Special Edition samples (currently Vol 1 and Vol 1 PLUS). But I've yet to determine if I'm going to make the HDD my system drive or the other SSD. I can't tell if this recommendation is to install VI Pro on a separate fast drive, or to insure that the system drive is a fast drive.

I also need to know how many GB is the "book" installed footprint for VI Pro, VE Pro, and the MIRx Bundle. The Product Pages don't say, unless I'm missing something, and I'm going to be adding the MIRx Bundle soon and VE Pro eventually. I'd like to plan my drive needs and configuration.

This would be for the sample content. The programs should always be installed with the OS.

Thanks, Bill.

Hopefully somebody can chime in with the installed footprints for VI Pro, VE Pro, and MIRx

Hi DaddyO, 

An SSD drive as a system drive is very nice, but not mandatory for our products.

OS X installation sizes of our software: 

VI PRO: 46 MB

VE PRO: 83 MB

MIRx Bundle: 773 MB

Best,
