I just purchased an eyetv500 off ebay and now I am looking for an external HDD. Just looking for a few recommendations. Each hour of HD content is about 8GB so I am wondering if USB will be too slow. the firewire400 port will be used by the eyetv and I have 1 USB port available for the drive. FW800 is way too expensive for me.
I was looking at the Lacie 500GB because that one is the cheapest I found for that amount of space. The lowest I would go would be 320GB.
Also, if there is a way to connect the eyetv directly to the harddrive I would consider a FW400 harddrive. Im not sure if that can be done though.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
