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.

Hmmm...I know this is an old thread, but I must say it does tickle me to read that some mac musicians had been wondering why they had problems recording/playing back audio when they had been using their internal BOOT drive as their AUDIO drive.... The mac is continuously accessing the system drive for system related read/write to/from memory instructions, and I feel that it ought to be common knowledge that it is definitely not the place to be recording/playing back audio from/to!! It's no wonder users get 'interruptions' in their recordings...the system drive is already busy dealing with the...er...SYSTEM!  I have always had a separate drive for audio...even back in 1996 when drives were not that fast (the problems even more obvious back then.) I can see it now...the audio drive is completely "free from traffic" on it's I/O ribbon cable, whereas there is always a stream of data moving up & down the system drive's I/O ribbon cable..er...ho hum
