I suggest leaving the internal drive for non vidoe stuff and adding an external firewire drive for video storage.

Nice firewire drive cases can be had for less than 20 quid and then you add a 3.5 inch drive, these are much better value per gig than lap top drives.

When you need another drive just another enclosure and chain them together.
