Default Re: external hard drives?
I heard you considering spending crazy Glyph money. You don't need to. You would be paying for the fancy box: "Quiet Metal Technology" and stuff.
Go down to Staples and buy a nice FW drive on sale, take it home and plug it in. Record your projects to that drive.

The following time you need an excuse to go buy something, buy a large USB drive for backing up your files.

Why one FW and one USB? Different busses and different computer resources to manage each. If you have a lotta crap hooked to your computer, it'll start to make a difference. I'm sure somebody will want to pick a fight over that. Whatever.
