Re: Rackmount Hard Drive
StorCase I'm also researching external expansion chassis. It says, transfer rates of 800Mbps (FireWire 800) but this is burst speed, not sustained transfer rate.

Re: Rackmount Hard Drive
On Related note...I made a mistake of getting LaCie porche which is NOT PTLE compatible... so I got the D2... can I run my Virtual instruments off LaCie Porche and Session Data files on LaCie D2??
Do you really recommend separate HD for Data, Application and Plug in Sample??

Re: Rackmount Hard Drive
Get the Storcase FW 800 solution. It just works and when you fill a drive up just put it on the shelf and put another one in the slot. I use my rack when working on location and have no problems either transporting gear in the back of my car.
I would advise caution with LaCie drives. There have been a number of problems with PSUs and I am no longer recommending them to my clients. Hope that helps,

Re: Rackmount Hard Drive
Hi Mike, with your StorCase FW 800 are you able to Hot-Swap with that and what FW Adapter Card are you using, 400 or 800?

Re: Rackmount Hard Drive
Yes providing you unmount the drives in the normal way you are able to hot swap drives fine. It comes with a FW 400 to 800 adaptpr cable and I have used it on Apple G4 standard firewire ports. I started on FW 400 and now I have a MDD G4 I am using it on the FW 800 port.

Re: Rackmount Hard Drive
Yep.. LaCie Porche does not work with PTLE... something to do with Oxford Chipset?? LaCie D2 works... it's been working for me great.
