Default FW 800 Enclosure Oxford Chip

Hey guys,

I'm on the hunt for a new external SATA enclosure. What is the most highly recommended one around here that will be great with Pro Tools?

Thanks!
Sig

I recommend you G-Technology drives. Have 2 of them and they are faster and more reliable than others I used to have (Lacie, Macaly).

Avoid RAID-0 enclousures. They will double the fail risk.

I have this one from Sans Digital

http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16816111022

It has a nice big cooling fan on the back. I think Sans Digital is not longer making them . But they still have the 2-bay enclosure.

Cheers

I have VERY VERY good results with RaidSonic. A German company sitting here in Hamburg. The price is MORE than just and the quality is better than devices costing 4 times as much.
