Hi guys!
I need to buy an external hard drive to use with Protools and my powerbook 17" 1.5 GHz.
I would like to know what do you think about the differences between a LaCie Big Disk Extreme 320GB with a Firewire 800 - Oxford 912-8Mb and a
Maxtor OneTouch™ II - 300GB with a Firewire 400 - Oxford 911-16 Mb.
Everytime a read a review it's always about people that use the hd for pro video/photo, I would like to know something about the ProAudio needs.
Thanks!

I liked your answer, pretty clear and it's what I was looking for. Alright, let's say that I have to use it with a 17" Powerbook 1.5 GHz and Protools. But now I'm more confused...eh ehe eh . Alright, if I get a double disk I'll have 60MB instead of 40 but the risk of MTBF, and if I have a single disk I get the 40 MB/sec. What about this lacie: http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?pid=10489http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?pid=10489Now I'm more confused...
