dodgydesign still want you to use scsi, what the f..k is all that about?
who'se going to buy a NEW computer with scsi hard drives?
they seem to consider themselves illusionists, they're not fooling anybody with a free mind... wink.gif
so, the "world leaders in PRO digital audio" release a usb? drive/audio interface as their standard "introduction" point? laugh.gif
for anyone "pc" reading here, i'm talking about a usb1 solution here! believe it or not... huh.gif
firewire is truly great! cool.gif

Damann,
A few days ago I emailed Lacie, I was suprised that they got back to me that same day. But any how the 40, 60,and 80Gig Firewire HDs are Seagate. The 120 and 160 Gig are Maxtor.

thanks for that info synthetik.
it dosen't surprise me that lacie(the most expensive vendors) have the integrity to use seagate. biggrin.gif
if you're wondering why they use maxtor for the larger drives, it's simple...
seagate don't currently offer drives of that capacity! wink.gif
there are some "fudges" involved in making drives of such a capacity at the moment, and i suspect seagate aren't prepared to play ball here YET.
now, all you have to do is compare prices between lacie and boxclever. rolleyes.gif
well, ok, also the visual appeal(boxclever win) and the build. huh.gif
i'll have to call that one "even"...

Has anybody use a Firewire drive as your main drive for audio?

I bought an OWC Mercury Ellite 7200 rpm with a Sonnet Tango card. I can get up to 36 MB of reading speed.
But the audio keeps dropping off and the sound is very thin ( compare to my other SCSII 2 drive.)
Now it's relegated to a back up duty. sad.gif

I just bought an 80gig, right now I have a 36 gig internal SCSI, I was planning on switching the audio drive to the firewire and leaving the SCSI for Graphics. biggrin.gif

I'll let you know how it turns out.
