External drive - 924 or 934 chipset?
Looking to upgrade my external drive from Lacie 100G to OWC 1TB. Noticed that the newer ones have the 934 Oxford. Is this a newer version of the 924 Oxford and is it compatible with PT?
Thnx for your responses! Mac Pro 16 G RAM, 2.8GHz, 8 core 10.5.8 OSX PT 8.0.1

AT this point, it looks like all the Oxford chips are okay.

Re: External drive - 924 or 934 chipset?
If you have a Mac Pro, why the external drive?
Make sure you have current backups.

For sure, I would use internal SATA drives first. I pretty much only work on internal drives(better performance) and use externals for moving sessions between studios.

Re: External drive - 924 or 934 chipset?
Thnx - I just upgraded from MacBook Pro to Mac Pro and am unaware I can now use the internals instead of external HD's. Being new at this, I have been careful to always store my audio off of my computer and onto externals. Not neccesary anymore??

Pop the side panel off the Mac Pro and you will find 4 aluminum brackets(the front one has the system drive). You can install 3 more SATA drives in those extra caddies. Search youtube for "mac pro drive replacement" or similar and you will see videos on how easy it is.

Re: External drive - 924 or 934 chipset?
Thnx Albee for the help! Looks like I have 3 drives installed - 1 - 320G, 1-TB, 1-TB - total 2.32TB and I am just using the 320 as SYstem drive and 1TB for backup. Seems like I have a spare TB drive to store sessions. Need to figure out how to redirect PT to read the internal instead of the external Lacie.
Thnx again!!

If you want to create a new sesion on that drive, just select the drive in the New Session window.
