Yes, you can definitely purchase 10,000rpm disks for video editing but for SD video capture and editing a drive running at 7,200rpm SATA will do just fine. I think the 10,000rpm drives are either SCSI or SCSI RAID (correct me if I'm wrong) and you need to get this set up in your computer when it is being built or before you purchase it, or if you are good at setting one up in a computer yourself then it shouldn't be a problem.
