Re: FIREWIRE DRIVE...WHATS THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF CAC
From what I've read, it doesn't matter much for PT performance. Personally I like Seagate for their 5 year warranty across the board. Western Digital used to have 3 yr warranty for all 8 MB drives, but they dropped it on their retail ones. If you buy an OEM Western Digital drive, like from newegg, you still get a 3 yr warranty.
As far as performance, check out StorageReview.com They have a ton of info. If you're not putting a drive together yourself, and just buying, I recommend WiebeTech. Many people have had good luck w/ OWC as well, but I think WiebeTech enclosures are better. BTW, there are some Maxtor drives that come with 16 MB cache!
