2x80gb Western Digital drives, with that new 8mb buffer thingie - ever since I put those I can use my MBox for all audio output (iTunes, etc) except for the damned DVD player, which is still choppy.

I use a Lacie 120GB firewire. I am a newbie but it seems to do the trick. What do you know about that drive?

Any advantage to using the 8MB cache versions?

How about the fluid dynamic bearings? Are they quieter?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">An 8Mb cache would seriously increase the read/write speed and should lower the seek time too.

fluid bearings mean it can spin really fast without making any of the noise you'd normally get from a drive when it's spinning at 7200rpm, all you might hear are the disk heads.

barefeats just tested the 180GXP, the thing smokes every other drive out there!

1. IBM Deskstar 120GXP 60GB (partitioned into 2 30GB volumes)

2. Fast, quiet, shortest seek time I had found at the time (8.5ms vs 9ms on the comparable Seagate and WD drives)

3. Absolutely nothing. Love it. It's a workhorse...and mine was a factory refurb!

80G 7200rpm IBM deskstar partioned into 8 10-Gig volumes. Not all that loud. Very pleased so far... about 4 months.

1. Mercury elite 80GB (OWC)
2. Quiet. Fairly cheap $$$. I can take it to just about any other studio and do a session, no transfers. (I just did that tonight)
3. That I don't have 10 of them.

What is the advantage of splitting your hard drive into several smaller partitions?

What a great topic! I am new here.

Except for firewire, I can not tell what type of drives you are all reccomending? Are most people using SCSI today? What is the best type to get maximum performance?

Can you really record multitrack audio on a firewire drive?

Is there a central resource to find out about what types of drives to use wiht digi 001?
