Does an external drive make a difference on your CPU when running VDJ? Which is better external drive or just a big hard drive?

Matt,
I use VDJ both on my MAC and PC for video mix shows. I have used 2 external HDs at once on the PC, with no troubles. They were 500G and 1TB drives. Take advantage of the firewire port on the macs and use that connection, as it is the fastest.
Good Luck,

Hi, I'm trying to run VDJ from my Mac (Version 5.2) but run into long loading times. Each song takes about 5-15 seconds to load from the external drive (formated in NFTS). Any suggestions on how to get songs to load quicker from an external drive on the Mac? Thanks

in my macbook thru USB or Firewire, (I Run XP and Leopard), A Video (full quality) is ready to play as soon as I load it, to cache the full video in the window, takes about 4 seconds, but again, in both operational systems, videos are ready to play instantaniously

Any idea on why it takes so long to load on mine? My external drives are formated NTFS. Work great in Vista (0 wait time) but not in Mac. Thanks
