    Guys I've searched the forums but haven't seen anyone doing this. Thoughts, opinions, real-world observations? I want a second drive specifically for captures, but don't want a second IDE drive slaved with the primary.

    Would this be a killer setup or what? An 80GB LaCie Firewire drive is $239 right now.

    My sources are strictly Hi8 home videos and I want max resolution all the way so I need some serious throughput. Eventual format will be mpeg2 on a DVD-R.

    Thanks in advance....

    though the firewire is screaming throughput -- its still only a ide ata 100 drive in the lacie ... and you cant make it faster than its max speed of its weakest (slowest) point ..


    a stripped drive array (on scsi IMO) is always the best solution if you want max datarate ..
