I am wanting to purchase the 002 rack and pair it with my 12" PowerBook. My PB has 640 RAM, 867mhz and a 40-gig HD. I will be purchasing a 80-gig external HD. I plan to be recording full live bands. I would like to know if anyone else has tried this yet and how well did work? Will I need to add anything into my setup? I don't plan on using many plug-ins during the recording. Most plug-ins will be added during the editing and mixing. Will this allow me to use all 8 ins at the same time?
I have done a fair amount of recording in studio and on a G4 tower with 001 and a little bit with a borrowed Mbox on my PB, but I yet to test it with any hard core recording. I would love to know how well it will stand up and or what I will need to add? Thanks for any advice or help.

It all comes down to the speed of the hard drive you are planning on recording to; if you are recording more than two simultaneous tracks, which you say you will do, you will need at least a 7200 rpm drive. Most desktop comuputers come equipped with them. Because the actual size of the 7200 rpm drive is too big, most laptops come equipped with a 4800 rpm drive. If you record to the external drive you are planning on getting, as long as it spins at 7200 rpm, you'll be fine. I recommend the "Lacie" brand of drives; they make fantastic external firewire drives. I'm guessing that the 80 gig drive will cost about $150. I hope this helps!
