I want to purchase an external hardrive to transfer digital video. How many minutes does an 80 gig hardrive hold? 100 gig? 120 gig?

thank you, sado

Answers

That depends on your compression. If you're talking uncompressed DV, then its 3.5 MB/sec. 80gb = 6.5 hours 100gb = 8.1 hours 120gb = 9.75 hours
