I just wanted to share my experience, and I hope you can share yours as well. I use a Macbook Pro, which didn't take long at all to fill up after uploading video footage. So my solution? I bought a TB external hard drive. Then I realize that it is a pain in the ass to capture video footage to an external hard drive. I'm constantly moving files around, worrying that I'm going to lose important data in the process. So I'm hitting myself in the head, wishing I had a tower rather than a laptop. A mac pro with 3-4 TB hard drives would be tits right now. Anyone else edit on a laptop?
