Greetings from Copenhagen!

I'm about to buy a Tibook 800 and a MOTU 828. I'm also thinking about getting a firewire harddrive, but can you record directly onto this or should it only be used for backup purposes?
Also, can any of you recommend a harddrive? I know of the M-Project from Glyph, but are there others?

Thanks,
Schack

Choose "hoj" for high bandwith connect and "lav" for low bandwith connect.

Greetings Schack from Norway biggrin.gif

I have MOTU 828 and need more space on my G4 733, so I ordered today a 60 gig Icecube. I will move Logic and all my sounds and songs over to it, and then I can easily take it with me when I am traveling smile.gif
I will recommend you to buy an Icecube too. It comes in "all" sizes, and 60 gig is the smallest.

Greetings from Paris, France cool.gif

Technically wise the most important thing to check are:

- oxford 911 (controler chip, fastest at the time)
- 7200rpm
- THAT (censored) FAN!

The firewire enclosures I have which are neither oxford nor fanless and make a noise you can mix with G4s wink.gif

Not important for the use I have, but noisy yes.

Be shure to have a look on that!

Just a quick word (got to go to sleeeeeep) to add:

There's a thread in the french forum running upon the audible differences you CAN hear between and IDE/SCSI/firewire drive.

The inherent specs of fireqire cause jitter in the audio signal as each chip controling a firewire port has a quartz running asynchronously sausing jitter in the samples…

The quality won't be then as top as it could be on IDE or SCSI.

For the ones who read french: (beware top pro meeting laugh.gif

there is a fix for that firewire issue mentioned above... when I bought my glyph drive... it came with a new firewire PCI card that solves that issue. I was told that problem was mainly only apparent on the older firewire equipped computers such as my G3 blue and white but has since been solved with newer firewire technology.

Anyway, I use Glyph 30Gig drive and love it. Had for over a year and never had one bit of trouble with it and recordings sound fine when used in combination with my Digi001 and ProTools LE. Plus its rack-mountable which is nice and I have it mounted in a rack under my workstation along with my Digi001.

The pros in question are a bit wary on that… the issue as far as they know has not been addressed, because the firewire standard is asynchronous in essence. Ever wonderd why MOTU made a firewire system not firewire compatible (2408 family) but to propose sample level accuracy wink.gif

The last post on that said that on a normal project it shouldn't be a problem, as the bandwith is laaarge. But on very big p^rojects it can be an issue.

At the time Digi is counselling implicitly to work in SCSI and back up in firewire (a guy in the french part found the between the lines from Digi)

But, if it sounds right… you know the ad! wink.gif

this could be true as I rarely have more than 20 tracks per session in 24bit... it may just depend on the load you demand from your drives

I really like the Lacie Drives,

They are a little higher price but they a wonderful, quite, and reliable.

Plus they look really cool

Oh and stackable.

The gloyh drives are nice but the price n them is stupid. A 40gb is the price of 2 120gb lacie drives. angry.gif angry.gif

people seem to be missing the point a bit here!
i use an 80gb ice warrior with an 828 on my tibook, no problems. wink.gif
no fan on the ice warrior either.
but the point is...
apart from the bus issue, it dosen't really matter who the vendor is, what's much more important is the drive inside the box. unsure.gif
i paid a little extra to have a seagate barracuda inside the ice.
since using g4 technology, i've already had a couple of ide drives die on me(they're just not as reliable as scsi drives), in my experience, barracudas are the most reliable drives on the market. cool.gif
all video and audio pros use them.
so what's inside the glyph?
what's inside the lacie?
probably a cheap western digital or maxtor, be careful. wink.gif

Hi all

I'm using 2 120 Giga ICE (Firewire) no extra fan.
It runs on G4 533 and MIX 3.
No problems with 64 tracks on 2 disks and 32 on one disk.
This system is on since 4 months.....I sold my SCSI CARD.
