Which external hard drive should be used to cut films in Final Cut Express?

So video editing on the external hard drive does not work in exFAT but only in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) - which I use also in the internals hard drive where I have installed FCE.

I use Windows 7 via book camp and use the software of Paragon to be able to read and write data of both parts of my interal hard drive (Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and NTSF which works quite well.

I use two Samsung S2 1TB only USB 2.0. (500GB Mac OS Extended Journaled only for a Time Machine Backup and 500GB NTFS for data and a Windows backup with the software from paragon) now. Maybe this will be enough backups and I could buy f.i. two OWC Mercury Elite Pro external hard drives for video editing and photos (data)? (one is also not secure?) Someone suggested to my to use Carbon Copy Cloner then.

I am able to send my film to someone f.i. via http://www.mydrive.net/ or via my MBP also to an external hard drive in NTFS ...

But it will be a problem to watch my films from the external hard drive in Mac OS Extended Journaled on my TV? I ask the support of Samsung now. And also OWC because of warranty in Austria ...

I have to send back OWC products for repair to the States living in Austria! 2 external hard drives 3TB including eSATA makes ca. EUR 560 for me (including VAT)! And today G-drive 3TB ist not in stock in whole Austria (?)

In http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/201201/20120128135005569/UX9DVBEU5A -ENG.pdf "my contents" I read that Samsung TV needs an external hard drive in NTFS (or FAT32 or FAT16).

There are quite a lot of supported video formats (see also my contents) so I ask myself which to choose best.

I assume it is quite difficult to decide which format to take because no one can know which people use which TVs etc. But is it easier to connect directly to a TV than via MBP and HDMI.

So I would have to partitate an external hard drive 3,5 again in MAC OS Extended (Journaled) and NTFS!

I have bought an expresscard of Delock 34 6Gb/s http://www.delock.com/produkte/F_260_eSATA_61891/merkmale.html last week but I can't slide it in the MacBook Pro (I have only one at home to test it). After ca. 2mm I cannot slide it further!

Is the card or the case a problem?

I had to repair my expresscard slot of my MBP today!

Because I was not able to insert the expresscard at all (I did not use this slot before!) I went to an Apple repair shop in Vienna (Mymac). They did not have to exchange anything but to fix the part in the MBP correctly, in which the expresscard is inserted.

I assume that this was a problem since the first day but unfortunately I had to pay for it because I do not have warranty any more.

I have bought two external hard drives of OWC 3TB http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/ME3QH7T3.0/ for creating movies with FCE 4.0.1. on my MBP, Snow Leopard, and it works well via eSATA (I did not try it with firewire 800 in the meantime because I have also eSATA).

My Samung TV supports only a hard drive 1 TB, namely 500GB for movies of TV and 500GB (NTFS) for my own data (photos, films and movies). I bought Trekstor 1 TB http://www.trekstor.at/detail-data-storage/product/datastation-maxi-xpress.html .

If I want to watch my own films on my MBP I save them as QuickTimefilms on my external hard drive OWC. If I want to watch them on my TV I use MPEG stream clip to convert them ot MPEG-4 and store them on my external hard drive Trekstor. People still want to have DVDs so I burn them via iDVD using the big data of QuickTime films.

Because I have chosen the best quality of my camera the data of my QuickTime movies are really big. I don't know if I simply should leave it this big (1) or choose less quality in Canon Legria HFG10 (2) or use QuickTime converter which much more longer than QuickTime so that I get impatient (3) or I should choose less quality only in the last step, the MPEG streamclip (4)?
