Hi,
I'm thinking of buying a 17" MacbookPro maxed out with 2Gb RAM for use with the new Cubase4 Studio and Kontakt2 sampler + various other VST Instruments.. Spectrasonics, Latigo etc.. I also have an MAudio FW410 interface which I currently use on my G4 Powerbook.. it doesn't give me any problems - as long as I have nothing else connected to either the FW400 or 800 buss. My question is, are the fw400 and 800 connections on the MacbookPro on seperate busses, or the same? As I want to go for the faster 100Gb internal drive (7200rpm) I may need to also buy an external 7200rpm FW800 drive to accomodate all my project data.. samples , audio etc.. obviously, if I did this I wouldn't be able to run the MAudio interface reliably if the 800 bus was being shared or 'seen' by the 400 buss.. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.. Thx |

SATA/eSATA is faster than the drives you can hook them to… even in RAID 0
 Remember the internal drives are SATA on mac since the G5 so it's no virgin territory. And now the limit is the drive, it'll take the coming flash drives to have a significant boost in access speed but it's a different and not immediate issue. -------------------- Our Classifeds • Nos petites annonces • Terms Of Service / Conditions d'Utilisation • Forum Rules / Règles des Forums • MacMusic.Org & SETI@Home
