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!
