[ardour-users] hard drive speed

[Djamel Ouerdane]

Hello,

I'm about to get a new computer. I read on ardour's webpage that a hard 
disk
of at least 7200 rpm is required. Unfortunately, for some reasons, I 
could only get
a disk of 4200 rpm.  Would it be a good idea to buy a faster external 
hard drive and use
the USB 2  port for data transfer ?? I don't know much about all these 
things and I don't
want to wait for an upgrade of my system (a Dell Latitude notebook).
Thanks for any info.

Djam
