Cheap ext. SCSI HD for PB

[hingyfan]

i want to use my Wallstreet PB as a portable recording studio but its 2G (i think that's it) HD doesnt seem up to it.
I have a USB card that works ok with a printer but im not sure it would mesh with a USB HD besides i want to do this on the cheap as i'll probably eventually replace the Wallstreet.
So that leaves the SCSI interface. Can i get an SCSI HD for this, and would i be able to make it a target disc for recording?
Thanks!

I have a Wallstreet and have successfully used  USB and FW PC cards to connect to both types of hard drives. You can't boot from them but no problems using them to store stuff. I upgraded my HD to a 20G and put the old 4G in a small USB/FW external case (bigger than a cigarette pack but smaller than a paperback). I also have an external 80G USB/FW that connects via either interface. Great for backing up my PB and my 9600.

I would think an external SCSI drive would be too expensive and large to carry around compared to the alternatives. (I also have a Jaz drive [SCSI] which I never use).

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the USB connection would be fast enough to work seriously with audio.
You could always use a USB drive for storage. Keep a partition on the internal drive for recording to, and working with the audio, then shove your files on a USB drive when you need to work on another project.

As Kris mentioned, best to add a larger internal.

SCSI-1 on the Wallstreet (I presume), may just be good enough to work with audio, if you're not wanting to do any serious multi-track work. Would you want to take a risk on an external SCSI drive from ebay? New SCSI drive would be far too expensive.
