[QUOTE="Benjamindaines, post: 364399, member: 8386"] You cannot put Final Cut on the external hard drive, but you can put all the "extra" things (LiveType's vector stuff and things like that) on your external hard drive. Do [B]not[/B] buy a USB hard drive and expect it to work well for video editing, while USB may be able to run a 480mbps you will never reach that speed (you'll probably get around half that). FireWire on the other hand [i]always[/i] runs at 400mbps, making it MUCH better for video. Also as [B][URL="http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/member.php?u=9169"]caribiner23[/URL][/B] has said, [URL="http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html"]SuperDuper![/URL] is a great backup application and if you buy it you can set up scheduled backups and smart backs ups (as opposed to erasing your drive and copying everything over again). If you plan to get into High Definition video editing I suggest you go with a FireWire 800 drive, or buy a SATA card for your Express34 slot and use a serial ATA drive. [/QUOTE]
