External USB2.0 drives as Audio recording drives
Hi,
Would like to clarify if it's possible to use external USB2.0 hard drives in a Pro Tools Mac OS environment to record audio directly? Since the new Mac Pro has all the ports available - 1394a, 1394b and USB2.0, it would be much cheaper to get just an USB2.0 casing and mount an internal IDE/SATA drive there. Are there any compatibility issues with USB2.0 drives that i ought to be aware of? Thanks in advance for your replies. |

Oh yes...it would be good if users could post your working config.
Like which external enclosure u used successfully? The chipset used in that enclosure? The max number of tracks that could be recorded simultaneously? Thanks. |
