Long Firewire cable runs
Has anyone had any experience in using firewire cabel as long as 30 feet using a firewire repeater of course to connect from CPU to external hard drive. Will Pro Tools have any issues.

Re: Long Firewire cable runs
Ive found both firewire and usb repeaters to cause problems with drives and devices even over a few feet. I think the maximum length for usb is around 30 feet, firewire not too sure. Might have better luck with an eSATA drive, and will be faster too.
