firewire/usb drives vs internal
 

do firewire and usb2.0 drives run slower then internal drives?

yeah, can you edit video off of an external drive just as well as an internal drive?

also what about firewire800 how does that speed compare to internal drives?

Software encoding = yes- but slower than internal
Hardware encoding = no, will fuck up the sync

Use it as storrage, not a work media

Firewire is better than usb - but im not talking speed, just works better
