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 |

When Panther was first released, there were many firewire drives that had problems losing data when connected to a machine running Panther. Very shortly afterwards, the drive manufacturers developed patches to their firmware to correct the problems. So all drives manufactured since the few weeks after the problem was identified last year have the correct firmware already installed. Almost all of the manufacturers have firmware updates on their websites for drives manufactured prior to Panther's release.
