Classic Question: Which Hard Drive ? Options

[camarao]

Hi

I have a Powerbook with an external Lacie firewire hard drive which is kind of noisy. I would like to buy another firewire external hard drive for working everyday with the Powerbook and use the Lacie for backups only. I would need a silent one, with more or less 200gb and it has to be tough since I will take it in my live concerts and dj-sets.
I thought about the Carillon Ad1+ but I´m not sure...Are there any alternatives ?

Thank you,

Alex

For Carillon I can't tell… The only people I know dedicated drives like these had Glyph ones and it was more a pro investment with a warranty in a peculiar environnement than a necessity for the specs of the drives.

To build an external hard drive it's a question of plugging 2 connectors and then a number of screws to set depending of the model, no rocket science here. You'll need a few tools though (one or two screwdrivers). As long as you're not a brute and care about the drive (no static, not hammering the face with components) you're ok.

There are webshopping places in France, Germany or UK with everything you need (for the one I know). A bit of googling should bring you there, I can't tell for Portugal (but I can ask to a friend in Lisbon though) but certainly in Spain too. I'll try to catch him today
