anyone???

um id think that ssd's always have the best price to speed ratio because they are so much faster, but im not 100% on that.

converting and video editing is mostly processor oriented i believe, at least its like that on my pc. i suggest getting two 7200rpm high cap drives instead of two 128gb's or something like that. two 750gb drives in RAID0 would work nicely

EDIT: just saw the post above me. PRICE:speed you'd choose an ssd? they are $300 for a 128gb still, its not practical.

i know theyre impracticle but say a 128gb 7200 drive cost $30 then if the ssd were anything more than 10x faster than they would have a better price per speed.

Well it comes down to storage.

Your looking at 300+ bucks for a 100gb+ SSD drive.

If you want a bit of speed it cheaper to buy a 10k Raptor and 500GB storage drive.

or 2x80GB 7200RPM drives RAID1/0 and get a 500GB storage drive.

SSDs are fast, but are also extremely expensive. If you want to do video editing and need large storage capacities, I would go with either a 7200 rpm drive or a velociraptor, depending on how much money you have to spend.

i dont need much capacity since i have a external 500gb disk and plan to add a couple TB in my other computer, but ill only need to hold the file im working on on the drive(s) and dont need much room on there so lets say i need 100GB what would the best solution be???

Raptor, unless you have say $700 to burn.
