Everybody in the Mac universe (which is expanding) says to get a second HDD for "output", to keep OS and APP HDD hits from causing dropouts or some such thing. Sounds like very good advice.
Since I use an iMac, can I use a Firewire drive? Or does that all have to go through the processor, making it possibly a worse idea than just using a single drive? Thanks, lastmachine |

A firewire drive is fine as a second drive.
Make sure you get one with a second generation Oxford 911 chip. |
