AND be sure it has an external microphone input or you wont be using it for any kind of "film making condition"by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: eSata and a G-raid Q drive - 15 years agoi suggest the "fasta" card from caldigit. ive had 3 and they are superb!by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: Firewire 800 Drives, which is a good one? - 15 years agooh, and as far as partitioning goes. there is no advantage to doing so.by wayne granzin - Café LA Re: Firewire 800 Drives, which is a good one? - 15 years agoQuoteYou can do plenty of HD on Firewire 800 drives...HDV / ProRes / DVCProHD, etc. You don't "need" esata. -joey QuoteEsata is faster than FW - corbett both make very good points. you can work quite well with firewire800. but esata is probably the best, low-cost upgrade you can make to any machine... migrating from firewire800 to esata made more of a perfomance improvement in mby wayne granzin - Café LA Re: Firewire 800 Drives, which is a good one? - 15 years agoyou could have done a forum search and saved corbett another flaming from joey and what im sure will be yet another love-hate debate about LaCie ; ) but since we're all repeating ourselves here: personally (i am among the LaCie haters) id stay away from just about ANYTHING you can buy at your local big-box computer store. though if you have to buy from such, i have been HEAVILLY using theby wayne granzin - Café LA Re: OT: Web hosting - 15 years agojeff, i just now noticed that little "watch in HD" link at the bottom of the video screen. 850x480 looks WAY better than the original. but just to shed some light on the typical monitor res discussion: "1024x768 and higher: this accounts for ~92% of page accesses.
