Hi,
I use an M-audio Firewire 410 to record on my computer. I wanted to buy a Maxtor External Hard drive to record audio as I am running out of space on my built-in drive. I only have one firewire port though--So I can't use the Maxtor and M-Audio at the same time. Should I use the USB 2.0 cord for the Maxtor or can I get a hub to use both Firewires at the same time. How important is the firewire vs. USB when it comes to me recording live audio onto an external harddrive? Please help me out, Thanks!

I have been recording via ProTools (Digi002rack) to an OWC Mercury Elite Pro drive for a few months now, with no problems at all. It is the quietest and and fastest drive I have ever used. Of course, I am using it's Firewire 800 port, so that probably helps the speed out a lot. They also have Firewire 400 setups on the same drives. From my experience, the OWC drives work great.
Their drives do include Retrospect Express, but I have never used it, so I can't say how well it works. I use LaCie's Silverkeeper, a free download from Lacie.com, and it works great for simple backups. www.macsales.com Ce message a été modifié par PristineRec - mer. 29 sept. 2004, 02:13. |
