Advice Needed for B&WG3 DV Editing - Hard Drive

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Editing DV Films : One Thread

I recently got one of those 350mhz g3s with a 6gb internal hard drive. Now of course I'm interested in doing DV editing w/ EditDV (when Radius releases a built-in firewire compatible system.

So any advise on what kind of additional hard drive I should get? I can spend up to $800.00 - perhaps mpre if its worth it - and I'm looking to get a 14gb. Ultra ATA? Cheeta? Baracuda? SCSI or Ultra Wide?

Thanks in advance,

SCSI, or if you can afford it, UltraWide SCSI.

Stanley:

After substantial homework, I've found that the EIDE drives are well suited for G3 and DV editing and are not as expensive as SCSI drives.

Good luck.
