A colleague of mine recently had a lot of problems with a LaCie firewire external drive and DP (in Mac OSX) - on my recommendation he went for a Glyph NetDrive (160Gb) and has no problems now I believe.

We use Glyph NetDrives in the studio here with ProTools LE/Digi001 and also HD2 systems (the latter gives record/play of 192 tracks smile.gif ) and they work like a dream. The various LaCie firewire drives we have kept crashing and 'disappearing' on startup (an issue with Panther 10.3 I think) so we're replacing them. They were reliable in OS9, but not in OSX Panther.

Be sure to format external drives in Mac OS Extended format and NOT Panther's 'Journalled' format, as the latter slows disk access time a lot! Glyph drives are usually formatted in Mac OS Extended anyway when you buy them new, but just in case you reformat...!

P.S. Glyph NetDrives are also virtually silent, wheras the older blue/silver LaCie firewires we have are not.
