I just finished editing a project right now. I’m using a western digital My Book Premium 500Gb harddrive. What I noticed is that the harddrive is shutting down on long periods causing PPCS3 to hang. Plus when I capture via the harddrive’s firewire port, it also hangs. I do this because my laptop only has one DV-IN Firewire port. Will having a farther letter like L or M solve this problem? By the way, sometimes the system has a hard time detecting the drive.It takes about 5mins or longer to get it recognized. Oh yah, I’m using windows vista basic.

As far as I know, Firewire was designed for A/V transfers and access. USB 2.0 is actually faster in terms of peak data transfers, but its sustained rates are defeated by firewire. Firewire is more stable, as far as I know.
What about my second question? Why is it that PPCS3 does not reserve/save preview render files on the external harddrive?
