What harddrives to choose ? Stay away from Adaptec SCSI controllers. They (or their drivers) are greedy about the PCI bus and cause xruns. I don't know about other SCSI controllers though. I have a couple of 16 track sessions that are fine with a Seagate ST340014A IDE drive. Not that I'm recommending this for your setup, but it should help to give you an idea. bye John _______________________________________________ ardour-users-ardour.org mailing list ardour-users@lists.ardour.org http://lists.ardour.org/listinfo.cgi/ardour-users-ardour.orgReceived on Wed Dec 15 06:42:46 2004
