View Full Version : Seagate for HDV Fred Foronda November 15th, 2005, 06:32 PM Anyone currently or had use these external hard drives? Need feedback thinking of getting the 400gb. Boyd Ostroff November 15th, 2005, 06:45 PM I have a Seagate firewire/USB2 300GB/7200RPM/8MB Cache "pushbutton backup" external drive. It works fine for regular DV on my dual G5 Mac via firewire 400. Haven't tried it yet for HDV, but since the data rates are comparable I imagine it will be fine. Michael Stewart December 10th, 2005, 09:26 PM been using seagates for a year on HDV, no problems. Mike Dan Euritt December 11th, 2005, 11:40 AM most external drives only have a one year warranty. buy the seagate drive seperately, and you should be able to get a 5 year warranty on it... put it in a nice external usb 2.0 box, something that has a fan on it.
