Hi there,
I've read that it's a good idea to record on to an external as it leaves your internal hard drive free to operate the OS, but none of the popular hard drives on amazon, like this Samsung M3 1TB, tell me if they're 7200rpm or not. I've also been told it's important to buy a drive that transfers data this fast. Are most external hard drive 7200rpm now? I noticed the crappy 250g Seagate I bought about 8 years ago is marketed at being 7200rpm, so if I had to guess I'd say yes.
