203084 2003-12-25 21:34:00 I'm wanting to do video editing on my laptop, but of course the hard drive is far too slow. So I'm wanting to use a spare 7200rpm 80GB hard drive in an external USB2 enclosure to solve that problem.

This one? --> www.welland.com.tw
or

this one? --> www.newmotiontech.com

They're about the same price. Or, if you think I should go for something else...

203085 2003-12-25 21:40:00 Check two things:
Does you laptop support USB 2? It'll be much slower without it!

Do you have Firewire? A firewire drive will be faster still...

203086 2003-12-25 21:59:00 Yes, it has USB2. It has a firewire port also, but only one, which would mean capturing from a DV camera to a firewire drive would be a bit tricky. :) nhut (4140)
