Audio Applications take up crap load tonnes of space, as well as video apps.

It would be awesome if we could finally support boot drives > 1TB!
 
You know you can install apps on any drive it doesn't have to be your primary. I have partitioned my mac before to have a partition just for my applications, music, videos, and television shows. As well as a partition for just my operating system.
 
I am not at home yet, but this problem is covered in another thread. It is a problem with larger drives having 4k blocks instead of 1/2k blocks. It is a trivial fix involving either simple connecting the larger drive to a regular Mac once, or entering a simple on line terminal command. I have a 3 gig drive and (after the terminal command) and booting works just fine.
