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.

If I've posted this before, it bears repeating.  My experience with the OWC Mercury Elite series has been excellent, and I recommend that anyone shopping for an external firewire drive at least take a look at these in yer comparison shopping: http://eshop.macsales.com/Catalog_Page.cfm...e=FW&Template=1The Elite cases are pretty handsome, too, housed in clear plastic, ala G4s, with a smart blue power light that can double as a nightlight. The pictures on the page don't do it justice. It's also quiet. OWC sells the parts for rolling your own external firewire drive if you prefer to go that route, but with the Elites, they've done the work. Worth a look.
