Maxtor Firewire HDD or 75GXP?

[Redwingsguy]

I need to upgrade my hdd but not sure which way to go, I already have a Dazzle 3 port firewire card for my DV cam (works for HDD right?), but not sure which would be faster...

Is a maxtor firewire hard drive bootable?

If you want a mobile hard drive that you can take to different computers get the firewire, but if you only plan to use it on the one I'd get the 75GXP.

Just need a nice and fast one for gaming/video computer. so 75GXP? you know if they have plans to release a 7200rpm version? If so I'd probably want to wait for that

yes, they have the 7200 rpm and ata100 i believe. A real sweet drive.

75GXP is 7200rpm....

 

[noxipoo]

do they make a 75gxp thats 5400rpm? don't think so

 

[Redwingsguy]

hmmm my memory must be failin me then for some reason i remember when 75GXP were just released they were only 5400rpm, but they had the larger platter advantage
