Hi,

If you were building a new DAW today what 7200 RPM Hard Drives would you recommend for performance and reliabilty that are semi-quiet?

I’m going to need the following:

1 PATA for OS and Software (80GB)

1 SATA for Samples (160GB Mostly for Drum Samples like BFD)

Hi, I'm working on a project that is over 70 tracks of 44khz/24 bit audio waves. In the past I was using logic audio and it was easy to split the files and put them on 2 separate hard drives. This way the drives run smooth and I never had a single problem with even 100 tracks of audio running simultaneously. I have a 120gb SATA internal drive and a LaCie 120gb FireWire drive.

I need a step by step run through of...how to hook up dual hard drives in my computer. I was talking to a producer and he was telling about how he has one hardrive doing one thing and the other one doing its own thing. If anyone is familiar, in that area please elaborate on this. My goal is to get the best performance out of my computer.

My laptop has only one firewire port, for which I may want to use a firebox. Would USB provide sufficient performance for hooking up an external hard drive to record to?

Howdy folks,

Out of business for a few days until a replacement arrives and I can get back at it. At least its just a ghost process away and I don't have to rebuild from scratch.

Hi,
This is a bump of my previous post that nobody replied to :"Mac single G5 bus : PCI or Firewire" I thought maybe a better subject title might get a better response.

I thought I had turned over every stone during my search for the perfect external firewire hard drive for me. I finally bought the LaCie d2 triple interface extreme. Everything was good until it mysteriously pooped out on me during a session. I've since got it working again, and recovered the data, but it put a big crimp in a session and left me less than confident in future performance.

Hi all,

I've already posted this as a reply to another topic, but I feel I should start a new thread too.

Is there any way you can hook a firewire hard drive directly to a firewire interface and record without the need of a computer?
I was looking at the 3 motu's, firepod, and fireface.
