Sorry for yet another transcoding thread, but this wasn't covered by the others so thought it warranted a new one. If not please do move it.
How much of a bottle neck is the speed of the hard drive? Currently due to my WHS setup I use an external USB hard drive, which I'm guessing is a fairly large bottleneck. So I'm considering chucking in a small ~50GB sata HDD purely for transcoding. Or would an SSD see significant improvement (I'm upgrading to a Quad core, from a dual core)?
