In general, yes. Specifically, I do not know. I hooked up several Maxtor 250GB
oneTouch HDDs as Scratch on a laptop. I tried USB & FW (400) connections, and
they worked. Bill Hilton, who contributes here did some benchmarks and I did a
few as well. We seemed to get a noticeable difference in out tests, and I plan
on following up a few of his suggestions, but have not had the time. Anyway,
PS worked with this arrangement, but I'm not sure if it hurt performance with
larger files. Since I only had one ULTRA100 60GB HDD, any Scratch Disk, USB/
FW, etc. should be a bit of a help. Whether yours will work, I cannot say. Let
us know what you find out, as this is a fairly common question.
