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.

Hum… Do you really want to put a foot on the ladder of the 'digi said and wants some cash' stairway to the seven golden cards obsolete in 2 years… The premium price you pay is to have the right to put a dirve in an enclosure like the digi. Is it worth ? BTW, the drive inside has the same MTBF as the others on the market, so  Take a good IDE drive, like discostu131 (and some find my avatar long and hard said, maybe in firewire, or if you want with his own IDE card and go! Premium for nothing but a label on a box is SLAVERY.
