    This is Firefox 3. Sorry for triple post, but no need to be rude, Harm.

    As a side note, I’m editing with ESATA II and premiere is dragging on my Dell M90. But only when I edit externally.. it works fine off the internal drive. Standard DV has rate of 5 MPS, and I’ve heard of several editors streaming to, capturing to, and editing from USB 2.0 Drives. I would also try defragging both your Drive where premiere is loaded and your USB drive. There are other issues you may have to look at beyond that but that’s a good first step.. however what’s NOT a good first step is replacing an expensive piece of hardware based on a hasty conclusion with little or no exploration.

    I am currently having an issue with an internal Seagate Barricuda via eSata.
    Playback is really choppy, this is the second 1 TB drive in two weeks to do the same thing.
    Western Digital 1 TB with 16 mb cache
    Seagate Barricuda 1 TB with 32 mb cache.

    Both via eSata, both going to onboard eSata connection as they will not be read via the PCIex card on the motherboard.

    500 GB Seagate Barricuda that I replaced works just fine, take out the 1 TB and put the 500- GB back and all is good.
    I can capture to the drive fine, no dropped frames, I can copy the files over to the other Seagate Barricuda 500 GB Drive and playback fine.
    Playback of any and all video files on the new 1 TB drives is slow and or choppy….

    If anyone else is having issues with this, please let me know.
