(first off I know there is a similar post right below me)
anyways. I have a powerbook G4 and I'm gonna be running pro tools LE with an M-Box and maybe logic. my school recomends that I get an external firewire hard drive with 7200 RPM"s as the minimum. I also know that pro tools is pick about what hard drives you use. my question is. either what external hard drive is good for my set up. and 2. is it possible for me to take a internal HDD put it in a case and and use it. (I know it's possible but would it work for Pro Tools) and finally if I was to go there external/internal route. How to I hook up the drive to my comp??? does the case come with a firewire output or something?? |

Hi SlowIntrepid,
A harddrive built into an external firewire enclosure will indeed work in ProTools...in fact, it works quite well! You can get empty enclosures for as little as $50, and hard drive prices increase with size. But buying the enclosure and drive separately is a lot cheaper than buying a pre-built "firewire drive" (which, as dixiechicken pointed out, is usually just a fancy enclosure with a regular hard drive in it). Good luck! -------------------- Powerbook 15" 1Ghz 768MB :: MOTU 828 ::
