Performance difference with extra hard drive?
Hi All!
Finally got a new pc and hoping to ease my frustration in the video department. I haven't tried doing anything yet, but was curious if one of the given scenarios below would make a difference in performance, mainly capturing performance. See new pc specs below. Oh, I do capture with firewire in case that matters here.
Scenario 1 - existing hard drive
-------------------------------------
Capture using existing 160GB SATA drive. Note that when I capture, I will not be doing anything else on pc, and space shouldn't be a problem.
Scenario 2 - add older hard drive
---------------------------------------
I can add my 'old' additional hard drive, 140GB ATA. This would then be my 'video' hard drive. I will, however, need to use the adapters, etc, in order to get it to work in the new Dell. Will I see any improvement in capturing using this setup, with adapters and all?
Thanks, and I'm welcome to listen to any other areas of improvement, but let me say that I've always managed good burns, etc on my piece of crap Compaq, even though it took forever.
