I’m glad you brought this up. This was happening to me today and I thought my new MacPro Tube 3.5GHz 6-Core with a TB2 Pegasus raid isn’t performing very well. My audio files were AIFF, must be a bug.

I have the Pegasus R6 Thunderbolt 2 attached to the new Mac Pro stock 3.5GHz 6-Core and I’m getting around 800MB’s Read & Write.

If I’m understanding what your saying… the back ups when opened don’t take up more space. I just opened a back up, the original was 10gigs and back up says 10gigs but if you look at the HD space it doesn’t go up by 10gigs. If you throw the back up in the trash and empty the trash the HD space doesn’t change.

Here’s another quote from the manual:
View playback on an external monitor using HDMI
If you’re using Final Cut Pro 10.1 or later on a 4K-capable Mac with an HDMI port, you can play 4K or HD 1080 video on an external video monitor connected to the HDMI port.
For a list of compatible Mac computers, go to https://support.apple.com/kb/HT6057.
1 Use an HDMI cable to connect the external (HDMI) video monitor to the HDMI port on your Mac,
and make sure the monitor is connected to power and turned on.
2 To configure the HDMI monitor, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and click Displays.
3 In Displays preferences, set the HDMI monitor to be a secondary display.

What happens if you use two monitors plus an HDMI HDTV?

4 Select Scaled, and in the list that appears, select 4096 x 2160, 3840 x 2160, 1080i, or 1080p.
Note: You may need to press the Option key while you click Scaled to see additional resolutions for the HDMI monitor.
5 To select the monitor in Final Cut Pro, choose Final Cut Pro > Preferences (or press Command- Comma), click Playback, and choose the HDMI monitor from the A/V Output pop-up menu.
6 In Final Cut Pro, choose Window > A/V Output.
The Viewer contents appear on the HDMI monitor. Viewer features (such as onscreen controls
and the title-safe and action-safe overlays) can be viewed only in Final Cut Pro. Note: Video and audio are synced at the video frame (not audio sample) level.

I did a quick test for a title missing. I used the basic lower third changed color and size, exported fine. In the timeline fine.

I can confirm this bug as well.

Thanks, I’m glad to here the Lacie unit works. I’m going to look into USB3 to eSata as well.

I did read this:
NTSC or PAL output requires compatible third-party video interface hardware and software. 4K output requires a third-party video interface or a 4K-capable Mac with an HDMI output. FireWire DV devices are not supported.

So it’s not another computer monitor but a real NTSC output?

It doesn’t say from the FCP X timeline. Where did you see that?
