I am about to massivley upgrade to a protools rack digi002 system and have a question about what kind of external drive I should buy. I am going to buy a new g5 dual processor mac. I am also craving an Ipod for selfish reasons. Can I kill two birds with one stone? Has anyone used a 30gig or 60 gog ipod as there audio hard drive with any success? Is there a better solution? Andy help is appreciated.

This is a VERY VERY bad idea!

iPods drive are made to be used sparingly with accesses once in a while (in fact, the system loads a few minutes of music each time it spins the drive, it save batteries. With such a special use in mind, it's optimized to work that way, if you try to use it a a drive for you audio files you'll find first it's a slow drive, not suitable, it'll wear off fast, it'll die. sad.gif

Invest in a second SATA drive for your G5 instead, it'll be a much better idea and they are cheap. cool.gif

Keep your iPod for your mp3s and don't set the volume too high if you want to hear the music you'll make with your G5 wink.gif cool.gif
