RE: What is required hard disk wise ...

[Arne S. <ar...@sc...>]

My AMD 333 MHz system with a separate IBM DTTA 10 GByte disk (5400 rpm) holds 
up pretty well when doing DV work both under Windows98 and under Linux, so I 
believe your system will work fine.
However you should use a separate disk or at least a separate partition, 
because a fragmented or partially filled disk slows the writes down.

Subject:	What is required hard disk wise ...

... I have a P2 333 MHz. The motherboard has DMA. I am considering
buying a new extra harddrive for DV capture under Linux & Win98.
Naturally I am looking at the new Ultra DMA 7200 rpm IDE disks as they
as so cheap compared to SCSI stuff. My question is whether I will get
enough speed with my DMA controller, or will I need to buy a separate
Ultra DMA controller to get the speed I need to stream DV onto the disk.
A new PC is in the pipeline, which should solve these problems but until
then ! ...
