Oops, you are right, processor speed, not disc size, which should have been
listed.

That is worth about 82 minutes of space. The original poster said storage,
not editing.

I agree that you have to get it to disc if you want to edit, but again,
the original poster said he wanted to do storage.
If you are going to be making several copies from an edit, keeping it on the
computer to make dubs is better than wearing out the tape and the deck.
But once all of the dubs are made, and a copy or two has been made for
master storage, it needs to be removed from the disc so that the next project
can be worked on.
Maybe the original poster needs to respond and clarify the exact useage,
i.e., editing or long term storage. Long term storage of raw DV on disc
is not just not currently viable. Get me a 100 Terabyte removable disc
for $200 bucks and you've got a deal for long term storage :-) At 2GB
for 9:20, it would store about 332 DAYS worth of video :-) :-)
