What do you guys reckon?
USB transfer will occur only at the speed the bus is able to handle. Your biggest bottleneck is your HD. It will also be your RAM if you have to do any processing, but less so than the HD. So, what you need is a large, fast HD and a decent amount of RAM that runs at a fast bus speed.
