OT Does anyone know which USB2.0 portable drives are suitable for recording
audio?kevin, i have discussed this varry ishu with 2 friends who in my humbel
opinion know all one should need to know about the pc and recording audio on
it. the first is a lister, hf. after a linthy talk with him about how i
would like to mix at home, in my spair time he made some sujestions on what i
should by, and what not to by. the second is an audio gooru randel deaton,
who's another blind pc user. i started to order something on line, but thought
i would check out the shops in town first. just because they are going crazy
with holladay sales. the disission to bee made tho, was do i get a flash drive
that will fit in my pocket. for around $ 80, which will let me work on sey 4
or 5 songs at a time, or get something bigger. i went with the something
bigger. at best by they had 3 drives that peeked my intrist, 1 a mackstore 100
gig for $100, 2 another mackstore which was 200 gig for $150 after rebate, and
3 a c gate 160 gig for $117. I went with the third, because of the price
sive, and info. the see gate listed clerely on the package that it is shock
resistent, it rums at i think 7500 r p m's, works at 90 percent humidity and
much, mutch more. the mackstore did not list any of this, and like i said the
c gate was lighter in wate, and smaller than the 100 gig mack store. so for me
anyhow it was a no braner 60 mor gigs for $17 more, and something that listed
its cradencials planely on the package. might i sey best by had these on sale,
and i dont know the normal price. but i cunsittered this to bee a good deal.
hope this helps.

The subject line says it all. Does anyone know of a USB 2.0 drive that's
suitable for real time audio recording? None of the drives I've seen show a
sustained transfer rate or an RPm or any other stat that would suggest its
suitability for sound recording. Any help would be grately appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin
