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.

Aha! I use an Mbox too. I didn't realise they'd made a nice quiet portable drive for us to stick in our little shoulderbag with all the rest. Found the glyph page: http://www.glyphtech.com/FRAMESET-AUDIO-pr...s-companion.htmHowever, I live in France and I can't find it on the French web. Not on the UK web either. Hum! I mustn't be searching right. Still, on the Gyph site they give a tel n° in the UK for European enquiries. It looks great for roaming Mbox users - ah! I've just found the price for the 80Gb on zzounds.com: 500$ - hum

Without shit, we wouldn't be here ;)
