Hello everybody,
i\'m new on here and i just got the gigastudio. Is it a good idea (and does it work) to get a firewire Harddrive? And what kind Speed etc would you buy (i\'m using a e-machine 600mhz computer)
Thanx for any Help

Hey, don\'t know much about Firewire, and I\'m hoping some people post more info here. My gut is that you will still be limited by your controller\'s speed (a firewire Harddrive will still need a controller on it, and they only go so fast). I might be wrong...

An advantage I see is that you could be able to hotswap them possibly? Have different drives containing different projects maybe?
