Although not fully tested and supported with Pro Tools systems by Digidesign, you may be able

to use firewire drives from other manufacturers with similar results, given the same guidelines

noted above. To date only Firewire drives with the following specifications have performed well

with Pro Tools systems:

● Oxford 911 Firewire bridge chipset

● 7200 RPM drive

● 100 MHz ATA bus

Check with the drive manufacturer to verify that their drive has the "Oxford 911" or comparable

chipset & drive speed of 7200 rpm.

While third-party drive format utilities may work on the owner's CPU where that application's

software and extensions are installed, the best way to ensure compatibility on all Macs

with firewire drives is to use the Apple Erase Disk function for formatting. If you plan to

also use your Firewire drive on other machines that may not have the same third-party drivers,

your drive may not mount on that machine, or you may experience DAE or system errors. The

guidelines listed previously on this page for the DigiDrive FireWire 80 will generally yield the

best results when using firewire drives with Pro Tools.
