    Single SATA drive for media

    Posted by Joe on June 20, 2005 at 9:27 pm

    My LaCie is “in the shop” so I have installed a DiamondMax 10 in the second bay of my G5 for temporary media storage. I would think it would be plenty fast for DV editing but I am continually getting drop frame errors.

    It should be fast enough. Barefeats.com tested its sustained read and write at 65MB/s.

    Could there be a setup that I need to do?

    How was your drive formatted? It should be HFS+ Extended *without* Journaling enabled. Journaling slows down drive performance and shouldn’t be used for media drives.
