I'm getting a Powerbook and will be running ProTools LE and Absynth...at least for now. Some guys at a music store I am working with are making me think that I need a Glyph drive for my external hard drive. Now, I do know that i want an external drive, because i don't want to tax the Powerbook drive with the audio I record and playback. But, the Glyph drives are so expensive. I just looked at a Mac Warehouse Catelog and saw 7200 RPM, 80gig firewire drives for a little over $200. Won't this suffice. The 80gig Glyph Companion drive is $500.
Anybody using drives from LaCie, Que, etc? Any problems or rumored problems?
Thanks,
Tim.

Thanks,
Tim. back to the point, NO you do not need to use a glyph.  sorry rickenbacker, i'm not trying to p*$$ you off here, but the extra cash glyph demand is not warranted. we ARE talking ide drives here!  these drives, although fast, are nowhere near as reliable as scsi drives, can only be expected to live for a couple of years, and an extra internal drive will definitely out perform a firewire drive every time AND save loads of cash. synthetic, i'm not trying to p*$$ you off either, but a firewire drive IS an ide drive, it can only work as fast as the firewire to ide bus inside it will allow! ultimately, my advice would have to be, buy a seagate barracuda and fit it internally...
