I'm considering buying a 300Mb external (FireWire) hard drive to give me more room to hold video. I have a 4-port FireWire 400 card installed (specifically a StarTech PCI1394_4), so the hard drive would be on one port and my camera on another.
Here's the question: would the FireWire card be able to capture the camera data AND write it to the hard disk at the same time, or am I likely to have problems?
