Hey guys
similar to a previous post id like to say a big thanks to everyone on here, mid Jan i was going to buy a new MBP as my old Viao got stolen. just days after new years, i always said id never do vista, so it gave me the chance to move to Mac.
I decided to wait on everyone advice that the new ones were coming, got a lot of stick from my mate who had just bought a new one about being stupid waiting, then every tuesday came and i said , its definatly tomoprrow, mac rumours says so' lol , each tuesday that passed i got more and more stick for not just going and buying it ... any way i held out and thankfully i did right, the new processor will mean a bit difference for me as i use video all the time for editing.
shame its not a 8800 graphics, but im not complaining!!!!!
Thanks guys for making me wait, i did nearly give up a few times but.....i played poker and one for once!!
Anyway my question is this, i want to buy an external hard drive for my new MBP, prob 500 GB or 1TB, it will be used for video mainly as i will be using FCS2
i understand a firewire drive is better than a usb one, or a raid drive.
Have seen some raid drives priced very highly and at present i cant a fford a lot, so im looking for the most cost effective external drive which will work for video.
can anyone point me in the right direction,,, im in the UK by the way
CHEERS GUYS!!!!
