can I use the external hard drive to work with Video editing?

Rackmanage

My hard drive (C:) is only about 80 GB but I've used it to store mp3.Many programs are installed in this drive also.Therefore, I do not have enough room for using with video editing.
Will getting external hard drive solve this problem for me?

Answer
Yes, but keep in mind that it may slow down the editing process.

The connection between your internal hard drive and the rest of the computer is much faster than a USB connection. Refreshing the video while editing may take longer but it's still doable.

You should consider getting an additional internal hard drive.

Right now you can get a 500GB SATA hard drive for $99.

Also, you can get a $10 - $50 enclosure and turn any internal hard drive into an external hard drive.

How to transfer to the external hard drive that I bought the music, videos and pictures in my lap top?

Joshua H

I bought an external hard but I don't know how to use it to transfer my videos music and pictures . My lap top's hard drive is almost full and I want to transfer it to my external hard drive. Can somebody help me?

Answer
The drive will appear as a drive letter in Computer (ie: Drive E:, F:, or some other letter) within approximately 30 seconds of connecting and turning on the drive.
Often the AutoPlay window will appear within 30 seconds.
You can click on "Open Folder to View Files Using Windows Explorer" to open the drive letter, or on the drive letter in (My) Computer. When that window opens, the drive is functioning normally.
Then you can simply drag-and-drop data, or copy-and-paste data, into the drive to use it manually.
