I'm getting 180 stereo voices off a single 120GB FW drive, so there 
aren't any innate problems. But the dual 450 is from the early 
Firewire days, so I'd do some research (some Mac forum somewhere?) on 
whether there are any problems with its implementation that could get 
in the way.

Just make sure not to listen to the stupid computer specs that people 
will throw at you, no matter how intelligent it makes the person 
quoting them sound. 99% of the time they're totally irrelevant!
