Ok, I went ahead an burned cash on EWQLO Gold and Silver for my laptop, and now I am evaluating external hard drives for my sample libraries using DFD and Kontakt for both GPO and my new exciting butt burning libraries. I might even throw on my Giga Libraries as well.
Heres a question for the great hardware minds out there, and perhaps for the record of other likewise minions like me who want to get into the external hd laptop game.
Given the following blissful choices, how would order the following configurations, from FASTEST to SLOWEST.
1) LaCie d2 Hard Drive Extreme with Triple Interface - running Firewire 800 and using a LaCie Firewire 800 PC Card.
2) TWO LaCie d2 Hard Drive Extreme with Triple Interface - running Firewire 800 and using a LaCie Firewire 800 PC Card in a RAID 0 configuration.
3) LaCie d2 Hard Drive Extreme with Triple Interface - running under Firewire 400
4) LaCie d2 Hard Drive Extreme with Triple Interface - running under USB2
5) Maxtor OneTouch II Firewire 800 (not sure I can raid this)
6) Maxtor OneTouch II Firewire and USB - running Firewire 400
7) Maxtor OneTouch II Firewire and USB - running USB2
Any other suggestions encouraged for large orchestral processing...
