I have nearly maxed out my internal hard drive on my mac book, so i'm looking for a new harddrive. Should I be woried aout getting one with raid built in suh as the lacie little bug disk or the maxtor one touch iii turbo raid? Or will just having 7200 rpm be okay? I have had disk errors in garageband and get the occasional 'here are to many tracks' warnings with the internal drive. Also, if i got a hub and linked up 2 hard drives would i then be able to use the software raid in osX? Thanks for your time cheers

Quick question.. what about using a USB 2 drive eg. the Lacie Porsche designed units?
The problem is if I use a F/W drive to store all my sounds.. Kompakt, Latigo etc.. then it interferes with my MAudio FW410 F/W interface - MAudio recommend not sharing the F/W buss with this interface.
I would have thought that USB2 should be OK as it's the same buss speed as F/W 400 ??
