Re: keep pt database in internal or external hd?
Not 100% and Im too lazy to check but I think that USB2 is actually faster than firewire. If its not faster than its really close. That's why firewire got blown out of the market.
Its definetly going to be slower than interal but not by much. Id just try it out and see if you can notice that its slower. If you use multiple PC's which Im assuming you do then I think using the external drive is a great idea.
**Make sure that any PC you connect it to has USB 2. USB 1 is about 200-400 times slower...seriously it will be way too slow. If you bought the PC in the last 2-3 years they should be USB2
Getting a new 10K RPM drive just for PT would seem to me like a waste of money. Your not going to see a difference using PT.
