  • External Hard Drive with Powerbook G4 works slower than with the G5…Why

    Posted by Luis Guerrero on June 20, 2005 at 1:14 pm

    I just bought a 7200rpm Western Digital 320 gig external drive with a 8mb cache so that I can work on projects with my laptop or my G5. The drive works fine with the G5 but when I work in FCP video play back in the timeline is very slow and staggered. Why does this happen?
    The drive is connected firewire 400.

    SYSTEMS

    PowerBook G4 1.67 GHz, 1 GB RAM, 128 MB VRAM
    G5 1.6 GHz, 1.25 GB RAM

    MAC OS 10.39 both machines
