Well, true. But it _could_ be the only thing if a dedicated
capture/edit system is being used. The final product could
be exported to a huge RAID setup for serving, viewing, streaming.
A smallish system dedicated to capturing and then GigE for
transferring to the bigger system works out quite well ;)
From the sound of the initial query I got the impression that the
system was going to be dedicated to capturing/editing and perhaps
encoding afterwards. In that case the cheapest IDE drive that
can be found will be more than adequate for DV capturing/editing.
Cheers,
