Re: what kind of external hard drive for protools ?
I have seen plenty of reports that ultra-fast drives(10K and up) offer no performance increase with Protools. I agree that the Glyph drives are among the best available but they are pretty pricey. My next recommended choice are the OWC Mercury Elite series and they are available with either FW400 AND FW800, or 2x FW400 ports. 7200 RPM is recommended(and any slower is absolutely NOT recommended). There are also some Bytec cases with the Oxford chipset for loading in your own drives(OWC has empty cases too).
