Re: SCSI or Firewire
FYI, There are some probles with performce ( at least on the old Mix TDM systems ) when you cross Storage systems.. IE: some of your single session is on Firewire and Ssome of the same session is SCSI... I run into this and found that simply keeping the sessions on one IO medium works far better than multiple buss technologies.
I use both SCSI and Firewire on most of my systems, and I agree, the SCSI is a little faster and seems to handle more tracks on one drive. To resolve tihs I just split sessions on 2 or more F?W drives when I need too. I'm working a 40 track mix right now on 2 F/W drives with no problems.
With the price of F/W having dropped , I now use Glpyh F/W chassies 120 gig "Keys" as they call them, for all my sessions and on all my systems. I use my SCSI disks for local stroage of misc stuff and old sessions to be archived to DVD at some future date.
