PT5.0 and Extended drive format

[Steve Rosenthal]

Dog BBQ: Yes, and yes.

Coaster: Yes. The "lag time" only occurs with HFS+. No way around it, since it's a function of the number of allocation blocks.

Steve -

We are looking into getting a new set of hard drives (I run two 9GB Glyphs right now - which are starting to run out fast @ 24 bit...).

Can you explain more about the record lag with HFS+ and the "fix" you mention? Do you have to designate "I am going to record for 5 minutes"? That's a pain, since we are doing dialog work and a team could go for 25 minutes without pause or for 10 seconds and need to take a break...

While I'm at it, what is the best drive to get right now? I won't need it desperately till after 5.0 is out (assuming it arrives ontime), so would hfs+ be best?

Thanks!
