I wanted to buy a Maxtor External Hard drive to record audio as I am running out of space on my built-in drive. I only have one firewire port though--So I can't use the Maxtor and M-Audio at the same time. Should I use the USB 2.0 cord for the Maxtor or can I get a hub to use both Firewires at the same time. How important is the firewire vs. USB when it comes to me recording live audio onto an external harddrive? Please help me out, Thanks! This post has been edited by Tripper: Sun 26 Sep 2004, 09:18
