Lacie Rugged Hard Drive
hi, is anyone using the Lacie Rugged Hard Drive 500GB FW800+400 7200 RPM for playback and record with L.E. and H.D. 8.0 and up? I am trying to find out if it uses the Oxford 911/912/924 chipset interface, as required by P.T.
Otherwise, can anyone recommend an external hard drive that is 500GB or more, small and doesn't require an external power supply (bus powered)?? I mean, one that will playback and record on LE and HD 8.0 and up? I am using macs 10.5.8 thanks!

Re: Lacie Rugged Hard Drive
OWC has some very nice 2.5" firewire drives and you can get them with a 7200 rpm drive installed, which should be perfect for what you need. Check this one http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other.../MS4U7500GB16/

Re: Lacie Rugged Hard Drive
I've had 4 LaCie external hard drives and ALL of them have eventually overheated and crashed my drives... I bought 3 inititally a long time ago, then decided to give them one more shot on the last one, but no more LaCie for me... They aren't ventilated well and I am guessing the metal enclosure doesn't help matters... I don't know if the one you are looking at has a metal enclosure, but I've not had good luck with this brand.

Re: Lacie Rugged Hard Drive
I've never heard of OWC before... it is tempting because they cost half the price of Lacie, but are they reliable?
