you can. tahts what it was designed for 
and thats why teh project nubus card has its own SCSI controller and can only record to drives that are connected to the card to bypass teh slow nubus.
still getting errors when trying to record with protools or logic. "cant allocate space for recording" is the error now
EDIT: problem solved!
so lets just use common sense. the session 8 came out in 1995. The HDD i connected to it was 8.7GB... and thats where the problem lies
formatted it to 2x4GB and it works like a charm now. records and plays 8 stereo tracks at once just fine.
