I will be doing some video editing using the Video Studio 11 software but I dont have enough room on my hard drive. So I was thinking of getting an external Hard drive which are a USB 2 interface.
I was wondering if this will work ok with VS11 or has anyone had problems with this?
Thanks

I think you will find that many people (me included) use external hard disks with no trouble, either USB 2.0 or Firewire. I used to use a Firewire enclosure, but started having trouble with lags and resulting write errors. But since changing exclusively to USB 2.0 (I have 6 totalling nearly 2 TB) I have had no further problems.

I use Drive Caddies.
The part you an see on the left fits into one of your drive bays in the same way as your DVD Burner. The part on the right contains your hard drive.
The IDE cable that normally plugs into your hard drive will instead plug into the part you see on the left, plus the power supply cable.
Now with your computer turned off you simply slide in a hard drive in one of the enclosures you see on the right. Its a bit like putting a plug into a socket.
This means you have an internal hard drive that is quickly removed from the computer without having to take the panels off. You can have several hard drives sitting in a drawer and in the time it take you to turn off the computer and turn it back on again, you can swap your hard drive(s).
I have 3 of these caddies installed in my computer (The 4th bay is my DVD Writer) and I have about a dozen hard drives, the ones not in use are in a drawer.
