Experience With Freecom External Drive? Options

[tricky_vic]

Hi

I wonder if anyone owns the Freecom Hard Drive Pro USB 2 & FireWire? I'm looking for a 7200rpm external hard drive, Firewire. I only have 400 ports at the moment but 800 is good in case I upgrade my mac. This drive seems to tick all the right boxes, but it would be great to hear of some first-hand experiences regarding performance and noise.

I would second that. There are some hard drives that are optimized for audio use Lacie and Glyph would be some great examples as well as Seagate. Make sure they at least have the Oxford 911 chipset. I bought an enclosure with the chipset from Tiger Direct (couldn't even tell you who made it) for a Hitachi drive I had lying around and really...it has been trouble free. I also hear that there are some really good drives from www.pacificproaudio.com. They used to make Pro Tools approved external drives and their prices aren't bad.
