even better, a second firewire card connected to an external disk. or you could use external SATA. I think the external SATA enclosures easier to find now days. SATA is faster, but firewire should be fine for most audio tasks (achieves close to 40MB/sec), and is definitely better than USB 2. Firewire 800 would be good if you want a portable drive that can handle larger projects (80MB/sec roughly)
do the dropouts go away if you connect only the external drive without the firestudio , and use another sound card (on board or whatever)?
