I purchased 4 from Projected Image here in the UK which were very reasonably priced and were delivered very quickly. I would recommend them. I haven?t found a better reseller in Europe anywhere.

Thanks for the info; Anyone know where in Japan to get them? Might have import tax issues buying in the the UK and shipping out to Japan!

[NevBull]

Hi Finn

computer hard drives dont seem to attract import duty, just VAT & the equivalent.

What are you suggest to use in a mac pro ? 3,5 or 2.5 ?

[NevBull]

3.5" wold be the obvious choice as it can be mounted on the existing drive bracket and slide straight in.

Did you tried your self ?

I've spoked to DvNation, they say it's not Mac Compatible .

[NevBull]

yes - I have installed them in Mac PROs as well as G5's - all work perfectly.

Cool , nice to know they spread the wrong word then .

Hi Emilliano,
I can confirm the 3.5's work well in my Mac Pros. They simply slot into the drive bays. No more scsi adapters! I have 2 64GB's setup as a raid in each machine and get 9-10 layers of Pal SD in photo jpeg. I have not had time to play with AIC but Richard tells me I can get even more performce with this codec.
