That’s my hard drive since the beginning, and last week it started disabling my keyboard when I plugged it in. On the right is my new one as of Friday.
I think I have it all backwards… Ryan said never to render to your hard drive, only use it for storage, and the guy at the store said he’d never heard of anyone doing it my way, and with USB.
So I edit and store the video files on my laptop’s internal hard drive, and just backup to the hard drive with Firewire???
But then therefore what I don’t get is everyone wants one with the fastest RPMs and faster Firewire… I thought that was because when you’re editing on it you want it to go fast, but if it’s only for storage it would add on probably just seconds, so who cares?
If you know anything please leave a comment #help.
When I use the Mac to navigate on the boat I always drag the charts I need to the hard drive. It’s a lot faster. I assume that using the hard drive to edit and then backing up to the external drive would be the way to go.
