Hey everyone...just picked up a PowerWave a few weeks ago with a
Powerlogix G3 upgrade in it and it's been great. Only thing I'd like to
hop up has been the hard drive speed. I put a 7200 RPM Fujitsu in there
and saw some uptick. I do have a firewire card in the machine and was
wondering if any of y'all had experience with FW hard drives in a
powercomputing machine...is the performance increase noticable? Can you
boot off these drives? (I do have FWB Personal edition installed for the
Fujitsu and no real problems).
Just curious!
