I'm assuming similar hard drive specs - I'm more concerned with how the bus effects performance. For example how well would a firewire drive handle a large sample library (5+ GB, at once), reading direct from disk, where it would have to seek out large amounts of info at once?

You have enough space around so air can just go away easy… It's such an elegant solution I don't see why Apple didn't install a bracket… A card A bracket 2 drives up you go! Check well the PCI bus type you need for your card! PCI, PCIx and PCI-express are different breeds… -------------------- Our Classifeds • Nos petites annonces • Terms Of Service / Conditions d'Utilisation • Forum Rules / Règles des Forums • MacMusic.Org & SETI@Home BOING BUMM TSCHAK PENG!
