i am a new owner of a 15" pb (with one 6pin fw port) and a new user of fcp4.
looking to buy an external hd .
my initial thought was to start simple: get a fw 400 hd and daisy chain my camera out from the hd.
BUT i have read previous posts that this method is not so good when using fcp.
so, should i get a fw hd 800/400 with 922 chipset and plan to get a pc card with extra fw ports later, when i can afford it?
or should i just go for the older fw hd 400 with 911 chipset?
any info from external fw hd users would be much appreciated!
