| Laptop/ext drive/firewire question Hello fellow slutz! Im about to go portable with a new Dell 1520 laptop (XP definitely not Vista). I plan on using my Mackie Onyx 1640 firewire mixer to track up to 16 chan. at a time and up to 60 tracks total, before taking the project home and mixing it on my desktop CPU. I have some techie questions- What kind of hard drive setup should i run? I have western digi usb 2.0 drives but im guessing thay may not be reliable or fast enough to stream 40+ tracks at 48khz/24 bit. I figured a external SATA setup would be best, but someone at the computer store said to use a CAT-6 drive. What do you think? BTW- money isn't overflowing right now... Also, the mackie uses a 6-pin firewire connection and the laptop has a 4-pin. Do you foresee any probs with using one of those adapter kits that add the 2 power pins?
