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.

hmm... never new firewire drives were actually ide... i do know that the older platforms that firewire was introduced on need to use a PCI card with newer firewire protocol that is supposed to alleviate some of the negative aspects of firewire for audio and video work but never really consider it was ide drives.

I still think unless I bought an ultra scsi pci card and drive that the glyph drive was good investment. After spending $150-$200 for ultra scsi card and then $150-$300 for drive... the price is almost the same as the glyph.

by the way... i don't get p*$$ off unless you were send a virus to my mac or call it a wimp... then I would have to kick some a$$... otherwise, its all good wink.gif one person can't know everything thus the usefulness of the forums where the debates begin and either a lesson is taught, given or criticized sometimes for newbies and sometimes for old dogs biggrin.gif
