Qualified SCSI HBA Cards
For maximum track count, use of a qualified SCSI HBA (Host Bus Adapter) card is required.
Optional SCSI HBA cards bundled (by Apple) with some G3 and G4 computers are not
compatible due to lack of support for external drives.
Depending on your computer certain ATTO ExpressPCI and Adaptec Power Domain cards are
qualified for use with Pro Tools, refer to your computer's "SCSI HBA Card" section for details at
the following links:
● G4 with AGP Graphics
● G4 with PCI Graphics
● Blue & White G3
● Beige G3
● 9500/9600
SCSI HBA cards are not required for Pro Tools III Systems.
Note: Adaptec 2940UW and 3940UW cards with G4s are unsuitable for full Pro Tools
performance. Due to PCI bus related issues the Adaptec 2940UW and 3940UW SCSI HBA cards
are unable to provide full Pro Tools performance. Additionally, Adaptec has discontinued these
cards, and as a result there will be no future engineering support from Adaptec on these cards.
