I have to replace an external Lacie Hard drive that seems to be
defective.

What is a good, reliable external hard drive for the mac? I want to
record and have the least amount of noise in the room.

Thanks

Lacie are usually very good on repairs. How old is it?

Maybe find out what Drive they used, then get another one and put it in
the case. Less money and Lacie enclosures are the best at the prices. I
like the way they automatically switch on and off too.

The box you have with a new drive in it. I have two external USB boxes
that I put Ibtachi drives in, they run nicely quiet and very cool, so
cool that it doesn't matter that the internal fan of one of the boxes
failed real fast. So I disconnected the fan in the other box too, but
they do not do a lot of seeks as they are for backup only.

I want to record and have the least amount of noise in the room.

Extension cables for keyboard, rodent and monitor is a simple approach.

Thanks


Kind regards

I have a Glyph specifically designed for audio recording purposes. It is
very quiet.

I used to have Firewire troubles with my Vaio. They seem to have gone
away since I got a NewerTech case (knock wood).

Other companies sell variations on the same theme. I can't speak to
whether they offer similarly stable on-board circuitry.

It's very quiet, even though it has a fan. I've never noticed it, even
it the heat of battle (no pun intended). It's thermostat controlled, so
most of the time it's not even running.
