The digital audio specialists at Digidesign are now shipping their DigiDrive FireWire 80, their storage solution for Pro Tools systems.
It’s similar to the DigiDrive SCSI drives in appearance, but offers a larger storage capacity and high data transfer rates at a lower price. You get 80GB for storage for a list price of US$575. The FireWire drive supports 24 tracks per drive, with a maximum of two drives for a total track count of 48.
However, like its SCSI-based relatives, the 7200 RPM DigiDrive FireWire 80 features a QuietDrive enclosure. The folks at Digidesign say this reduces drive noise by up to 20 dB. The Digidesign also has advanced thermal sensing to protect data integrity.
