Oxford Chipset external HDDs in the UK?

[markytorture]

Hey,

I'm running Pro Tools M-Powered 8 on Windows XP, using an M-Audio Profire 2626. I'm wanting to get an external HDD so I can record on location using my laptop. So far, I've ascertained that I need a firewire drive with a spin speed of 7200RPM+ and an Oxford Chipset.

So... I'm having trouble finding places in the UK to buy Oxford Chipset external HDDs. Ordering stuff from the states adds a whole other level of difficulty to things! Anyone got any tips on where to find them in the UK? Most of the HDDs I've found don't mention the chipset, and sometimes don't mention other specs (like the 9ms seek speed thing), which is super annoying!

I found this one:

But someone was telling me that Pro Tools M-Powered is incompatible with FW800? I'd be using a FW800-FW400 converter cable though, does that help? Would I be better off getting an enclosure and a separate drive?

Cheers.
