Re: what kind of external hard drive for protools ?
if the oxford bridge chips are the same and drive seek/read/write times are the same then the only difference is the case. .
I don't think the glyph would necessarily be faster. . .but the one thing about them is they test the glyphs with protools and the cases are real reliable and although I have not needed to deal with them. . the customer service I have heard is excellent.
they are more expensive.
I switched from a lacie 500 big disk extreme i think it was a couple years ago. and imediately noticed a speed difference. it was my syatem drive so it was easy to notice (I startup from a external glyph at the studio I work out of)
but for an audio drive I doubt you would notice the speed...
I just really like the solidness of the case, firewire controller, powersupply, no external power supply that is. . just a regular power cable like most other pro gear.
