External HD for 17 inch MBP C2D
after reading this article https://www.barefeats.com/mbcd6.html
It seems that the 7200rpm 100GB drive is the way to go. Has anyone found a small externeal HD (60-100GB) that can be powered through FIREWIRE (no external power source) and still give quality speeds for use with FCP.
A HardDrive that is extrememly portable, firewire powered, yet can hold 60-100GBs of captured video?
Does such a drive exists that can perform in FCP?
cheers

Don’t know about speed because it’s converting to FW with the 924 chip, but
SATA drives have come down in price to almost equal ATA drives, and if you
have, or get, a SATA enclosure later you can swap it into that. You might check
barefeats.com to see if they have anything to say about it, they’ve tested Wiebetech’s
cases.
