i am currently looking to buy an external firewire drive and am in need of suggestions. i know that i want 7200+ rpm and 10ms or less seek time. Also, would love it to be whisper quiet.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Anyone using Glyph or Seagate drives? If so, please tell me how they are working for you. Dumb question: "Do i install DP4 on the internal or external drive?" KC |

Thanks for reply PristineRec!
Those look like great drives with 8 MB cache. Right now I'm between the OWC and Seagate drives...leaning towards the Seagate drive. I don't have a firewire 800 connection on my PBook G4 12", so I won't be able to take advantage of that connection. Though I am wondering if the OWC might be the better choice down the line if I should ever upgrade the laptop. Ahhh! Decisions Decisions  By the way I noticed the OWC uses the Oxford 922 chipset which did have problems in the past with Panther. Am i correct in thinking that issue has been resolved? Thanks Again, KC |
