Not much. It has built in idle timer so shuts them down when not needed.
I have hard drives that are 10 years olds and still going strong. In that time there will be something better and brighter to buy that will blow them away anyway.

Can you cut stuff out like ads, merge scenes together like fade in/out???

What about a firewire port or something to send the data to the PC and edit it there???

Yep you can cut the ads out afterwards so no problems there. You can split the file into smaller files.

It will record to DVD-R disks as normal DVD movies but you do waste a DVD-R disk. It will also write to a DVD-RAM disk which is much better. Uses it's own format but it is just a matter of finding the right file and it will play okay. You can then transfer this and edit away.
