I have Ozzy's OWC drive above but in a 120 GB version (in fact, I have two of them) and it rocks! It has an external power supply so I can have the drives right on the desk by me and no fan noise at all. They are fast and do a great job. I can't recommend them enough.

nz,

Are you running hefty PT sessions with your OWC 120GB? If so, how many tracks and at what bit/resolution?

Thanks, Chris

Funny. As I write this message, I am waiting for my OWC Elite Pro 100gig to arrive any minute now via Airborne Express. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
