Hi guys!
I need to buy an external hard drive to use with Protools and my powerbook 17" 1.5 GHz.
I would like to know what do you think about the differences between a LaCie Big Disk Extreme 320GB with a Firewire 800 - Oxford 912-8Mb and a
Maxtor OneTouch™ II - 300GB with a Firewire 400 - Oxford 911-16 Mb.
Everytime a read a review it's always about people that use the hd for pro video/photo, I would like to know something about the ProAudio needs.
Thanks!

For both audio and video, you'll want the fastest data transfer speed. Firewire 400 is the equivalent of USB 2.0, which will get the job done, but is much slower in comparison to Firewire 800. And if you're still undecided, why not get a LaCie d2 Hard Drive Extreme with Triple Interface. http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?pid=10025Firewire 800 / 7200 rpm / 8 0r 16MB Buffer is the way to go. As to Lacie vs. Maxtor, ..That's really a personal choice. Western Digital has some pretty nice external drives, as well. In fact, I'm thinking of getting...... http://microcenter.com/single_product_resu...duct_id=0169867Good luck to ya
