Hello,

Hope that someone can help me with the following:

I have a Dell laptop with 256ram connected to DSL and with a USB1 card. I am having storage issues with my Flip camera because my hard drive is not big enough and when I try to upload to an online storage site, it takes hours for the upload to complete plus in addition I would have to download to my computer if I want to work with the file. One thing that I can do to free memory from my hard drive is using Flip's"my channel" where I can upload my videos but I am not sure if I can delete the files from my hard drive after I upload them and bring them back to my hard drive for editing etc at a later time. What would you recommend as far as storage, hardware upgrade and/or a web site that could make this process faster and more efficient.

Thanks

Etaf and others,

Can you expand a little more on your suggestion? Is this an internal HD that replaces my original one or an external HD?.. Having a USB 1....does it affect the upload/download significantly and if so, how do I upgrade my laptop.....I just wondering if upgrading my laptop given the spec that I shared on my first post make any sense...

Thanks for the reply.

its an external USB harddrive - you just plug into the house power supply mains and the USB connector on to the laptop - or any laptop
cost in UK around £70 ish depending on deals .....
