David,
Sorry if I was not being clear.
I have just up-graded to the 2 new drives recently. Prior to this I was running PP CS6 cutting docs up to 15 mins long using a LACIE Mirrored RAID drive hooked up via USB3 and a older Gtech scratch disk connected by FIREWIRE.
Both these drives were fine and I never had an issue running PP. I will do some more plugin and uplugging of cables, but certainly a Thunderbolt/USB3 connection set up should work better than a UBS3/Firewire combo!
FYI, I have just recreated the first part of my edit in FCP7 from an XML file and it runs fine. Connected to the same thuderbolt Gtech scratch disk.
Bed time here now, but appreciate your help! Will check the threa din the morning.
Thanks
Andy

…and while I try and figure this out, I am just in the process of rebuilding the edit from and XML file in FCP7
There will be more hoops to jump through to do this, but, despite its 32bit-ness and inability to handle certain codecs like P2 (AVC Intra etc) FCP7 still does the biz…if a little bit more slowly.
I will be interested to see if I have the graphics issues here…
If not, then this is an PP issue.

These figures show that the Thuderbolt is running slower than the USB3 drive.
However, prior to this current set up my previous Scratch disk was a Firewire drive and I had no issues with that ever…
And I am running a ProRes 1920×1080 timeline.

Thanks David,
Understood.
My main system drive is 1TB with 150GB free
My Scratch disk is 3TB with 850gb free
My archive drive is 6tb (2 x 6TB mirror raids) with 3TB free
Should be enough space.

I have just started seeing an issue with video rendering in PP CS6 this week.
I thought I had isolated the issue to 2 x slow drives – odd since they are both brand new Thunderbolt drives! I reconfigured them with one connected to the Mac using USB3 instead, but the issue still seems to be the case.
I have never had issues rendering in PP before now. I have used the app for dozens of film projects. My issues are here:

Glitching after rendering.
This thread has been suggested to me but I am not convinced that I am necessarily sharing similar problems. Either way I need a fix soon.

I have looked at that thread and i am not sure it makes a lot of sense to me.
I have not updated my OS software (on purpose!) on my edit machine. I am still running Mountain Lion. The system has run fine until this project. Unless the CUDA driver can become corrupted, how can this suddenly start happening.
I simply do not have the time for my machine/software for my machine not to work properly!

PS. Am also running some updates and doing other house keeping.

Thanks.
System drive has 150GB of free space and Scratch disk 850gb.
Should be enough?

No. Perhaps I should do so?
Any idea where I find drivers for that? I am looking now, but cannot seem to find…!
