I'm using my my Macbook Pro for video editing and obviously i'm using up my 160Gig HD fairly rapidly.
I'm looking at getting a WD Mybook (500 Gig) for backups and also for keeping archived video projects on.
I also have Final Cut express which is taking up huge space on my disk and was wondering would i be able to run it as an application on the external HD? If so would it make much difference using Firewire over USB to run the app or could USB do just as well? Obviously USB only models are cheaper than Firewire versions.
Any advice would be great as i want to buy this today.
