  • 5400 rpm hard drive

    I bought a Microsoft Signature version of an HP Phoenix computer to use for video editing. I just do short stuff (mostly sports and other school events) so I don’t need a workstation.

    But, even though this computer has an i7 with 16 GB ram, it came with a 5400 rpm OS drive. Is that going to slow things down considerably? I’m going to add two more 2 TB hard drives (7200 rpm) to hold my videos and projects, so it shouldn’t be accessing the OS drive that much.

    Should I clone the 5400 drive to a 7200 drive and take the 5400 out?

    For an OS drive – don’t worry about it.
    But, Do get 7200 for your A/V drives.
