Well, it depends. If you're just browsing and reading email, a separate
drive is really quite unnecessary. I got away with a single drive for
everything, I just bumped up the buffers in dvgrab to like 200 frames or
so (about 7 seconds for NTSC) and everything was fine.
dvgrab will tell you if it drops frames. If it does, you know you have
to either:
- increase the buffer even more
- stop messing around with the system
- should the previous fail, then get a dedicated drive
