Yeah, I use a laptop and SX, and you'll have NO problems recording 4 
tracks at once, the 5400RPM can definitely handle that and probably a lot 
more too.  I wouldn't recommend a USB interface for that many tracks 
though, probably better of going with firewire for that (M-Audio Firewire 
410?).  I think 4 tracks at 24bit/44.1 is probably pushing the limits of 
the USB bandwidth, doable, but right on the edge.

Anybody recording with a Laptop and Cubase/Sonar? Im thinking of getting 
one 
and id like to know if its possible to use a mobile system to record en 
multitrack mode [4 tracks, m-audio usb], the worry is about the hard disc 
in 
the first place, are 5200 rpm enough or is there a possibility to get 
external hard disks with higher velocity, maybe with 1394 connector? Id 
appreciate any help.
