Hard Drives

DJ VILLADON 3:24 AM - 13 October, 2008
I've been converting all of my PO Videos and just putting them on my Ext. Music drive (WD 500g FW400) for the time being but it's filling up fast. I want to go ahead and get a FW800 drive to hold the videos. Anyone recommend a good solid drive just for video? I'd like to keep the music drive FW400 and Video FW800.

Thanks

Thanks. I'll probably just go with the WD since I've had no probs so far with their drives.

That's what i use.. paid more than $220... but it's ok...

I've had it quit a few times when i was giggin... but over all i'm happy with it

the reason it quit was because it goes to sleep when not in use. j&r music world in nyc has it for that price. thinking about getting the 1.5 terabyte of that drive for $299. too many videos.

it was definately in use... all of my music is external... so i'm playin and then i get the pop up message that one of my devices has quit unexpectedly... can yoy say fucked? i have 100k songs and it takes like 5 minutes to be up and running
