Do you want to know the difference between HDDs & SSDs?
Or do you want to know the difference between the power requirements of a HDD & an SSD?

Hi, thanks for the reply, the ssd with either 128GB or 256GB would that be enough power, to edit a 60min film? or would it need more, and it would have 8GB of memory.
I am a total novice never used a mac in my life, i know it show's lol!
The 128GB or 256GB isn't a measure of power. It's how much data you can store on the drive.

Right im with you, would that be enough data to edit a short film, with final cut pro or adobe cs5 premier?
I had someone gonna take care of the editing side of things, but that ain't happening now so gonna have to edit myself. thanks.
128GB will be not enough to store 120 minutes of ProRes encoded 1080i/p footage, as one hour usually takes up to 100GB if you use ProRes and 1080i/p footage.
Better use an external Firewire 800 or Thunderbolt (when available, June 2011 is the current ETA) HDD, you don't need an SSD to store video on you want to work with.
Btw, it is called "Premiere".
Hi 2 more things lol! with the 128GB, and a external firewire 800 will that be enough to edit videos? well only 1 to be exact.
Second thing, can you name me a good external firewire 800 thanks.
If you have an external FW800 HDD, use only that to store the footage on, don't use the SSD to store the footage.
The WD My Book Studio editions are quite good.
