Hello
I've been researching for a few days now which external hard drive to buy
I'm looking for a 7200 RPM external drive, about 300 gigs, give or take
I would like to record to it (using digi 002 rack)
At first I was thinking I needed firewire 800 or it would be too slow, but now I've realized that that's silly, because the info going from my digi 002 rack to the computer is done through a firewire 400... so it's not going to be any faster after it's being output from the 002 as firewire 400... is this thought correct?
Secondly:
Of course, everyone has their personal opinions about which models are more reliable and quieter than others...
Many people in this forum have said good things about Seagate... but which model are you talking about? The FreeAgent Pro? It's a little confusing now that Seagate's bought out Maxtor...
