Im a DJ and I need an external FIREWIRE HD for gigs. At home, I would like to use this HD wirelessly via my airport. It is worth mentioning that the airport only has one USB out on it and I currently have my printer using it. It there a HD out there that would work for me?
If you are using Airport express you can add a USB hub to your base station and have up to 4 USB devices recognized my your mac. I am using this hub, because it fits sleekly under the airport base station. http://www.buy.com/prod/belkin-hi-s...b-for-mac-mini-f5u264/q/loc/101/10412191.html I am also this Hard Drives. http://www.buy.com/prod/belkin-hi-s...b-for-mac-mini-f5u264/q/loc/101/10412191.html The airport the hub and my MacBook Pro all work great together. I love having the Firewire 800 on this Hard Drive it is so much faster. I am also impressed by the speed while using it with my airport.
The 2nd link is the same as the first. I really like that Hub. Matches the APE very well. I have a WD 400 firewire that I will use connected directly to my MBP when out. Will I notice a big difference compared to the 800?
This is the link for the Hard Drive... http://www.buy.com/prod/western-dig...mbo-usb-2-0-firewire/q/loc/101/202367587.html Sorry about that
