Default Western Digital Hard Disk Question?

Hi I would like to buy the western digital hard disk for my setup which is pro tools 8 m-powered, imac and m-audio profire 610.

I am posting the links of the disk. If you can look at it and tell me if you can reccommend it I'll be glad.
Thanks in advance.

I highly suggest you NOT buying either of those,
as many reports say that they fail and tend to have extreme breakdown problems
Including but not limited to losing data on disk,
as the internal board interface screws up the data in the hard drive disk.


So I am highly suggesting you get this:
It works super great with ALL Mac computers as well.

And these are the stores you can find it at.
http://newertech.com/us_resellers.php


It has (2) Firewire-400, (2) Firewire-800, (1) USB v2.0 and (1) eSATA

The new v3 can handle up to 2-TB's Hard Drive.


hope that helps.

If the supplier doesn't tell you that it is a 7200 RPM drive, I wouldn't get it.
I recommend OWC external drives. OWC sells the miniStack and they tell you the RPM of each configuration.
