Mac Setups: Photographer’s Workstation

This weeks great Mac setup comes to us from Ivo P., a wedding and lifestyle photographer who uses the following hardware to handle the images and process his work:
- MacBook Pro 15″ (2011) – 2.2Ghz Intel i7 – 8GB DDR 1333 DDR3 – Matte Screen at 1680×1050
- Dell U2412M 24″ 1920×1080 (connected to the MBP)
- iPad Mini 16GB – black Wi-Fi
- iPhone 4S 16GB – black
- 2 x 2TB WD External HDD as a working drives + backup
- 1 x 1TB Samsung USB HDD for Time Maschine backupĀ
- 1 x 1TB Samsung USB HDD as a portable backup
- 5 x 1.5TB WD Green 64MB 5.25″ SATA HDD as a backup drives used with Thermaltake Black X double HDD adapter case
- Apple wired keyboard
- Logitech M-U0007 mouse
- 7 port USB Active Hub
- Datacolor Spyder4Pro monitor calibrator
- Cambridge Soundworks “Megaworks THX250D” speakers
- Griffin laptop stand for MacBook
That’s a serious amount of disk space, and the Thermaltake BlacX USB docking station is a really great way to be be able to juggle multiple SATA drives as if they were standard externals. PS: you’ll be forgiven if you initially thought the MacBook Pro was a MacBook Air too, but the matte screen option removes the black bezel in addition to the gloss.

The drive caddy is great, I have one of those too. Really nice setup.
Where is this awesome wallpaper of Dubai and Burj Khalifa at sun set?
Lol
Same Mac, Same monitor, same work
Pretty similar setup here too, hard to argue against what works best!

Easy one: no one makes 5.25″ HDD’s; those are optical drives. The physically largest HDD’s nowadays are 3.5″ (desktop drives).
ToughER one: I’m confused about, in the same section, saying there’s 5 x 1.5TB drives. I see two of them plugged into the 1 mentioned dual docking station, but I don’t see the other three…
The missing 3 HDD’s could totally be somewhere else in the picture, but the mistake with the 5.25″ vs 3.5″ drives is definitely wrong. Sorry, (kinda) nitpicking
Hi JeffY,
You are right! The HDD are indeed 3.5″, I made a mistake. The other three are not in the image, since they contain old backups and i don’t use them a lot.
