Yes the connection was using a fire wire in both cases for downloading to
computer and saving back to computer. I was not running any other programmes
other than usual antivirus software.

I would get a hard drive with the largest amount of space
you can afford. Make sure it is 7200 rpm and has an 8MB
buffer on it this helps when editing to film. Some older
drives have only a 2mb buffer and some higher cost new
ones have 16mb. Serial ATA is faster than IDE if your
computer supports it.
