Hi
I wonder if anyone owns the Freecom Hard Drive Pro USB 2 & FireWire? I'm looking for a 7200rpm external hard drive, Firewire. I only have 400 ports at the moment but 800 is good in case I upgrade my mac. This drive seems to tick all the right boxes, but it would be great to hear of some first-hand experiences regarding performance and noise. |

I did a fair amount of research on an external hard drive to use with my iBook G4 and GB3, and ended up buying a 160 gig drive made by Pacific Pro Audio in Seattle. It has the PPA Oxford 911 chip, has ample cache, and operates at 7200. The Price was $135 plus shipping. I've had it a month and it seems just dandy -- quiet, does the job.
Just wanted to offer that for what it's worth -- no financial interest in Pacific Pro Audio. |
