Phillips have announced a new 1 TB drive which uses an eSATA connector – reckoned to be up to six times faster than USB 2. I found some good info on eSATA here. Sounds great for video, but it’s a pity that Firewire is getting harder/more expensive to buy these days – I guess it’s only a consideration for people like me who have an old but still great Mac with no USB 2 port.
If there are any G4 mirror-door users out there who can advise me about fitting a good USB 2 PCI adaptor please leave a comment…
