Hi,

I tried searching this topic as I'm sure it must have been discussed although I couldn't find anything.

Anyway, I am looking for an external hard drive, either eSata or FW800.

It must be at least 500GB, preferably 1TB, and as silent as possible. I plan to use it with my MBP for recording.

Any recommendations?

Thanks
Joko

Found the Glyph dealer in Hamburg where I live now, and those drives are pricey! Although I believe they are the best..should be at that price.

€200 for 500GB
€300 for 1000GB

Ok sorry 1 more to question to anyone who can answer. About to buy a hard drive from Glyph:

the 500GB & 750GB have 16MB cache
1TB and up have 32MB cache

Does cache size make a big difference here?

Thanks
