Ok, the situation:
I'm running a 1.8GHz Pentium 4 (Actually it's a 2.4 but I have to keep it underclocked due to bad RAM I have yet to replace, but that's a seperate story), 512MB DDR RAM and an 80GB hard drive... I'm having trouble right now with my newest video is that with the new quality techniques I'm using, I can no longer directly edit with the vob files, it's too slow, so I need to make clips. However, HuffyUV clips take up ALOT of space as I'm sure you all know. Even with alot of my files backed up, with the vobs and the clips, I have about 10 gigs left... There's a couple of more gigs I could free up, but not enough to make clips of everything. (I'm currently using Battle Atheletes Victory, an 8 DVD series) and it's a problem I know I'll have with future videos as well, so I'm thinking of investing in a 2nd, internal hard drive strictly for video purposes. My question is, how practical is that, would I need a fast hard drive, ETC? The one I'm looking at now is another 80GB hard drive with an RPM of 7200 for about 90 some dollars on eBay, which includes shipping. I can get a larger, cheaper one, but it would be slower. Is this a good idea, and if it is, does anyone have any suggestions on what kind of hard drive I should look into?
