  Hard disk problem!!! FCP???

  Posted by Paul Hasler on August 17, 2006 at 8:27 am

  Quick question that hopefully someone can help me with. I recently purchased a LaCie Two Big 1Tb E-SATA and although it works great transfering data as soon as I try and play video off it, either in FCP or even just quicktime, it stalls. I have tried LaCie and they didn’t have an answer for me. I guess some one would also be using the same hard disk and I was just wondering if I was alone with this problem or not!!

  How is this drive formatted? If it isn’t formatted MacOS Extended then it will have issues with playback.

  Defiinitely a setup issue – like Shane says, check the formatting on the drive.

  Also check your SATA interface and drivers, and run a disk speed check on it – AJA have an excellent one for free on their website.

  it’s formatted correctly and the data transfer rate is exceptional, except when video is playing. i have tried everything!
