    just purchased another external 500GB Seagate Barracuda drive housed in a wiebetech tray with firewire. I have another exactly like it which is where I house my SD pieces. I bought this as a send to the sound design firm. I test everything so I took two QT pieces compressed in compressor from FCP and located on my desktop. I transferred the files, then tried to play them from that location. No joy…is there something with the FCP or is this a hard ware issue? I tested it with disk warrior and I have to ship this project tomorrow. Any suggestions?

    Did you format the HD your self? It is “journaled” the HD? If so you should de-journal it.
    You can test the speed of your HDs. There is an application included with the Blackmagic drivers to do so. You can download it free. I think AJA got a similar one.
    I dont like big disks. I both a LaCie 380Gbs or so two years ago, but after I went back to buy 200Gbs HDs. I noticed than when you make a “Capture now” in the big HD took few seconds to start to recording. With the smallers the recording isimmediate.
    Cheers,
