FW 800 or 400 to connect to Audio Drive
With PT 7.3.1 and my Mbox 2 Pro, it was always said to use the FW400 port on my Mac Book Pro, and daisy chain the audio hard drive and the PT interface from there.
Now, with PT9, and no Mbox 2 Pro (or any other interface) plugged in, is it OK to use the FW800 port to connect my audio drive? Is it still necessary to use 400? Does it matter? Thanks |

800 is preferable! 400 is still ok but 800 is much faster will give better performance and higher track count Chris

the problem is mbox 2 pro+fw800
no mbox2 pro - you can use 400 o 800 |

My audio drive only has FW800 ports, and it works like a champ on the FW800 bus (MacBook Pro, early 2008).
