Which External Hard Drive to Record with Pro Tools (Lacie, G-tech, OWC?)
I am running Pro Tools 8LE on a macbook Pro intel core 2 duo 2.4Ghz with 4GB RAM.
I will be updating soon to Pro Tools 9 and i was wondering which external Hard Drive will be best to Record. I looked mainly at Lacie 1TB D2 Quadra, G-tech G-Drive 1TB(Seems to be the best option for the price), OWC and of course Glyph but it's out of my price range. My Main question is whether G-tech or Lacie are good enough Drives to be used safely with Pro-Tools and which one is the quietest. Thank you, Manu |

I've never liked Lacie, poor build quality
G-Tech, we've been having problems with of late. Growing pains from being bought by Hitachi? OWC, have not used personally but a very good rep

I see, i guess any drive at some point dies. Though G-drive seems a bit better than Lacie.
What have you been mainly using? Glyph? Thanks Manu |

mostly push/pull off server space for storage going room to room for sound
our picture department has been the ones having problems with the G-Tech drives they have been good about replacing as needed (but not Glyph level) Rocstor have been good for several people I know http://www.rocstor.com/products/prod...le-Hard-drives YMMV

Would you recommend the Rocstor 850? Its price is very attractive. Is has a different chipset Oxford but i can't find anywhere what drive it is using. Seagate?
