Hi folks,
What are most important specs for an external drive?
Disk speed or data transfer rates? Anyone using a 5400 rpm? I thought I read that Apple recommended 7200 rpm, right? ATA, SATA?
USB2 work at all, would FW800 be best?
Thinking a 1 or 2 TB, does disk size itself have an impact on performance?
Oh, this is FCP 6 on an iMac and MacBook Pro, hence the need for an external unit.
I read one post discouraging WD products and another the Lacie's. How about Seagate, Iomega, Hitachi.
Thanks,
Rick
