you could always clone your startup volume to one of your externals, 
along with any file storage on your boot volume/disk.
Then drop in a larger internal drive and clone back to it.
You say your mini likes the internal better than the external drives. 
Don't know quite what that means, but maybe it has to do with various 
bus speeds depending on SATA, PATA, 400/800 Firewire, USB, or eSATA.

What about one of these?:

In your movie work, I would think that reading and writing to different 
drives would be much speedier than reading and writing simo to the same 
drive. But perhaps you are already doing that. The actual "work" on the 
files may be done in RAM using temporary files, the location of which 
may be set in the application's preferences.
That being the case, you could select a file that resides on an external 
drive and set the temp file on the internal.
The above is conjecture, of course, not knowing your apps or 
configuration. Just trying to provide some food for thought.
