I have Pro Tools Mix3 system 6.4.1 running on a G4 Dual 1.25GHz, and ProTools LE 7.3 running on a MacBook Pro. I use a bus powered 80GB drive, for smaller sessions, which i've had for approx 3 years, this works fine on both systems, this drive is now full.

I thought it best to buy a 2nd drive, so I purchased a new 160Gb Freecom Mobile Pro (bus powered) drive. However, when I try to play sessions from it, ProTools keeps stopping, complaining that the drive is not fast enough.. etc.

I thought that surely a drive that was bought in 2007 would be fine, if a 3 year old bus powered one worked... I was wrong!

I know I cant exepct the full track count with bus powered, but it's handy for editing jobs where I'm running from one system to another at different locations.

One other drive I've seen, is the Formac Disk Mini.

What do you recommend?
