MessageI think it was around $160 or so. I just got it at the shop that builds
the systems for us, I needed it in a hurry and I don't even know who makes it.
It requires AC power, which probably makes it a better quality one than some of
the others that can run off the usb bus power.

Gord,
I'd be very interested in that comparison. How much did your USB/FW
drive cost? Who made it?

Kevin:
You are better off with firewire. I have a 40gb external portable drive
that is both. I haven't tried using it as an audio drive though. I should do
an a/b comparison to see if the results are the same as usb and firewire.

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
