Hullo,

In my continuing plot to create a MythTV box out of an old laptop, I am now eyeing the hard drive. It is a standard 2.5" drive of unknown speed (I'd guess 5400, no more) and 40GB of space. I'm looking at one of these: http://oss.wischip.com/ Which can give me MPEG-2, MPEG-4, and DivX. Do I need to get another hard drive? The PlextorX will be connecting through a USB 2.0 PCMCIA card, and I'm not sure if a USB 2.0 hard disk would be good because of the bus bottleneck issue.

There is a 4-pin FireWire port on the computer, but nothing I've seen uses it (aside from cameras).

Any suggestions on the drive?

Thanks,
Brandon
