I would like to buy another firewire external hard drive for working everyday with the Powerbook and use the Lacie for backups only. I would need a silent one, with more or less 200gb and it has to be tough since I will take it in my live concerts and dj-sets. I thought about the Carillon Ad1+ but I´m not sure...Are there any alternatives ? Thank you, Alex

I'm really not convinced the price difference for a music oriented enclosure is worth it most of the time. Have you an idea were you plan to buy it? -------------------- Our Classifeds • Nos petites annonces • Terms Of Service / Conditions d'Utilisation • Forum Rules / Règles des Forums • MacMusic.Org & SETI@Home BOING BUMM TSCHAK PENG!

I don´t know where to buy it and how to build it. Your solution seems very good but I'm a real nerd regarding hardware. Do you know if the Carillon's are good? Thank you Alex
