We're definitely not in the hard drive business, so we welcome you to either send us your own hard drive or order one from a company like Amazon and have it shipped directly to us. We can use practically any type of drive (USB, Firewire, SATA -- with enclosure or without).
Or if you don't want to go through the trouble, we offer Iomega hard drives for $69.95 (500GB), $99.95 (1TB) and $179.95 (2TB). Iomega drives are great for consumer and prosumer projects, plus they come with a 3-year manufacturer warranty.
When considering a hard drive, keep the following in mind:
1. Each hour of regular video will require 13GB of space / per hour (AVI or MOV files)
2. Each hour of ProRes video will require anywhere from 30GB to 80GB of space / per hour
3. MPEG-4 files do not require a hard drive as they are 2GB of space / per hour and can easily fit onto data DVDs.
