I would not want to be running one video file on a 4,800 rpm boot drive. And is that drive even large enough? If I *had* to keep this model I would put put the video on a SATA III boot SSD... so size that purchase appropriately. If I could find a reasonable SATA *II* SSD then I'd use that as a second internal audio drive, otherwise sure I'd do the external Firewire 800 7,200 rpm audio drive.

I don't see a scenario where this computer is unlikely to be opened up and messed with.
