How many people are editing HDV with the files on an external USB 2.0 Drive? I've always used external SATA or firewire and want to know if this works before I buy a couple USB 2.0 drives....

Thanks,
Scott

My external drives can be SATA-II or USB 2.0
SataII is much faster, but, the USB2 connection works fine.

I've had people on other boards say that USB 2.0 can handle only one stream of HDV...

Personally, I wouldn't work with HDV on USB 2. Yes, I know people use it successfully but really, its speed (which is delivered in packets or bursts not continuously like FW) is not technically sufficiant for video. I wouldn't even work with SD DV on USB. I've tried and it was not reliable

For HDV I prefer FW8 or eSATA
