I really want to be untethered.. I'm on a quest to make a laptop a more portable video editing system. I'm a bit out of my league, but trying to figure out why there isn't an external 2.5" portable SATA drive (with a SATA connection) that runs off it's own power??
note:video shouldn't be stored on the OS drive.

Ideally, a great set up (small, powerful, and extremely portable) would be the Duel Systems’ ExpressCard connected to a 2.5 SATA drive,, and the ultimate -powered by a separate battery, like on-the-go.

The G-tech mini has a great form factor but is bus powered and it'll put a drain on laptop's bat life. It's also FW, and expensive ($309 for 1000Gb 7200rpm)
