Re: Do Lacie Drives have the Oxford Chipset?
Hi sorry if this post is dead but i need some info from peeps in the know.
I need to buy an external drive to use with pt8 003 + macbook. i have whittled it down to these two: OWC mercury 1tb firewire 400 / 800 oxford chipset http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firew...W800_FW400_USB Lacia Quadra 1tb fw400 fw800 possibly an oxford chipset (still awaiting their reply) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWAX:IT Glyph drives seem really expensive in the UK, does anyone know or have any experience using either drive i have picked? I have read that the lacia drives are good but mixed info on wheather they use the oxford chipset or not. any info would be most appreciated, i should mention that my 003 + macbook both have fw400 connections but i am down with using a 400 - 800 cable if needed for daisy chaining. are there any limits to the size of the drive is 1TB appropriate? with all the recommendations surrounding partitions ? never done this before so a little confuzzled, many thanks for your help

Re: Do Lacie Drives have the Oxford Chipset?
I had ome previous BAD experiences with Lacie drives so I will NEVER recommend them to someone.
I hear good things about the OWC drives... And here are a few others to consider. Simple External Drives/ IEC power cord internal powersupply Rocstor/ RocPro drives Avastore/ HDX Glyph/GT Series Good drive but with external powersupply G Technology Drives/ G-Drive Good drives with Removable drive options Wiebetech/ RTX100H-Q (trayless swapping of drives) Oyen Digital/ DataTale 3.5 (tray/handle for swapping) I'm sure there is more but there ya go. |
