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!

well, do the maths. real world sustained 32meg / second equates to around 180 stereo 16 bit 44.1 tracks!!! so 24 bit should be around 120!! how many tracks will your drive record?? did i get this wrong??

huh.gif

did bearfeats say he was getting 32Mbytes/s to a 7200 drive? did he mean bits or bytes? that can't be right, my maths is wrong surely...someone else work it out please..
