Why might a G4 733 with OS 10 only support a 120Gb external firewire hard drive though (or only see 120Gb on a larger drive)?

Do you know where I can get copies of FCP version 4 and iDVD 4?

Thanks for the feedback.

“I would not recommend anyone use USB 2.0 to edit video.”

Why not?

Many of the Lacie drives are FW/USB 2.0.

Can you please explain what it means when a drive has both FW / USB?

Have you heard of the Extreme Triple Interface by Lacie? My Mac catalog says these drives feature FW800, FW 400 and USB 2.0.

What do you know about the SATA HD drives? The feature 250 GB or 400 GB with 7200 RPM.

Thanks for all your feedback.

Now a little more information…

I currently have 3 media drives in use. I believe my fourth drive needs to be replaced. It makes a grinding noise and hangs when I try to copy files to a disc to back-up. Have you ever heard of this?

Also, I am currently in the middle of a large DVD project. I am running OS 9.2.2, FCP version 2.0.2 and iDVD version 1.1. Instead of upgrading my current system drive to OS X Tiger during this project it was suggested to use an external firewire drive as a new OS X system drive for iDVD 5. This way I can complete my project in FCP 2 but still be able to author my DVD with the latest version of iDVD.

Will I encounter any problems running a new FW drive as my OS X system drive?

“You can daisy chain two drives together per bus from my experience. ”

I have 2 Firewire ports in the back of my mahcine. I have my deck plugged into the first one. Does this mean I’ll be able to plug the first new fw drive in the other port and daisy chain the second drive off the first?

“You can use Apple’s Disc Utility to make a Disk Image and then move it to the new drive, or use Carbon Cloner.”

What is a carbon cloner? Can you recommend a good one?

How can I make a disc image of an entire harddrive?

Thanks again!

Do you mean a USB external drive or a Firewire and USB drive?
