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!

QUOTE If you have a Titanium or older Powerbook, then you will have to daisy-chain. As far as I know, all Firewire drives have 2 Firewire ports on them. I managed (lucky me) to find a portable FW drive that has only one port. The LaCie Mobile 7200RPM is only available with one Firewire and one USB 2 port. It is the only LaCie portable drive running at 7200RPM. My interface has only one Firewire port. I posted a question about the possibility of using a Firewire hub for this scenario. Maybe the answer will be forthcoming... -------------------- Quad G5, 4 gig memory, internal and external drives, MOTU Traveler, Logic Pro 7.1.1, Sibelius, Reaktor 5, Absynth 3, Live 5, OS X 4.4
