What the best hard drive for video editing?
by Randall
(Florida, USA)
Question: I'll be traveling with a group of cyclists across the country this summer who are raising money for a non-profit. I will be shooting video along the way with the Kodak Zi8 Pocket Video Camera with the goal of producing web videos for their website, plus a short documentary at the end of the trip. I will be editing on my laptop (Dell Inspiron) and will need some extra hard drive space to store the video footage. Any recommendations? Thanks!
Answer: Since you'll be traveling, I recommend getting something a bit more rugged. I personally love G-Technology (GRaid) hard drives, but for your situation I recommend a Lacie portable hard drive

Sounds like a great project. Good luck!

I just wanted to say that I think your website is amazing . I am a beginner with an idea, and the info and articles on your website are easy to understand and answer many questions I have. I can not wait to start filming!
