It's funny to think back to the days before Digidesign approved FireWire devices for Pro Tools. SCSI was the standard but, reliable as it was, it was very expensive. Right at the time when I was about to buy two more SCSI drives, I heard of people using FireWire drives with Pro Tools without any issues. Possibly only two months later, Digidesign had their own branded FireWire drives for sale. Well, I didn't buy the Digi brand drives but it was a novelty to be able to spend two hundred dollars on a Firewire drive rather than two thousand dollars on a pair of SCSI drives.
