Re: [EXS] Powerbook external FW drive for EXS24?

2004-03-23 by Gramophone

Hi

You got to be carefull with potential latency problem; I don t know the size
of your internal drive, but have you thought about making a partition and
keeping it ³inside the box² ? If your drive is not big enough, seriously
think about replacing it with another one instead of getting external. I m
not saying FW is not good, but since size and power consomption seems to be
of an importance for you, can t beat internal drive for speed and space ! If
you do go external, lacie is always very reliable and lately, they came up
with firmware upgrade improving both FW 400 and 800.
