i am currently looking to buy an external firewire drive and am in need of suggestions. i know that i want 7200+ rpm and 10ms or less seek time. Also, would love it to be whisper quiet.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Anyone using Glyph or Seagate drives? If so, please tell me how they are working for you. Dumb question: "Do i install DP4 on the internal or external drive?" KC |

I record to one of these drives:
http://eshop.macsales.com/Catalog_Page.cfm...tle=&Template=1 Other World Computing's Mercury Elite Firewire drives. It's whisper quiet (no fan) and I've had no problems recording with it whatsoever. I use the Firewire 800 model, and it's very very fast. Always run your applications off of your system (internal) drive, and record your audio tracks onto the firewire drive. This will keep the running of the software/operating system from competing with the writingreading of the audio tracks. Also, your internal drive most likely spins at a slower speed, and can't handle as much simultaneous writing/reading as the 7200 RPM firewire drive. |
