  | Does external ethernet HD work for audio recording? http://www.beachaudio.com/product_in...mpaign=froogle since my macbook only have one FW port, I was thinking about hooking something like this to it as a backup drive or even (if possible) a main recording HD. have any of you guys tried something similar? |

| If you're looking for it to be your main audio drive, I can almost guarantee that will not work (even if it does, it would be painfully slow and riddled with errors). What that is is a low end NAS device. What you will see in your computer is a mapped network drive. Recording like that across the LAN is a bad idea. Even if you have gigabit ethernet, the latency due to packet overhead will make recording large amounts of audio almost impossible. Come to think of it, I'm not even sure if DAW would even allow you to push audio to a network drive. You'd almost be better off going to a USB 1.1 hard drive than using this. A backup drive is a different story. That's basically what these things were designed for. |

| They only way (that I know about) to record audio to a networked hard drive is to a fiber channel drive.
