Yeah, I think that is a great idea. Will do. Thank you for all your help!

I’m looking to buy a Western Digital – Caviar Black 1TB Internal Serial ATA Hard Drive. The product features are:

1TB maximum storage capacity
Serial ATA interface
Data transfer rates up to 3 Gbps
7200 rpm for fast read/write times
32MB cache buffer
Compatible with PC and Mac

It looks good to me, but what do you think?

Great, I thought it might have something to do with the USB and the drive. But what can I do, the project is on that drive? What external drive do you suggest I get so I can transfer it over? Or would it be possible to just work off my computer’s hard drive?

Model Name: Mac Pro
Model Identifier: MacPro4,1
Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 8 MB
Memory: 6 GB
Processor Interconnect Speed: 4.8 GT/s

Thanks for all of your advice!

The connection between the drive and FCP is USB.

Thank you! The audio is still at 44.1 Khz. I can’t believe a little thing like that would make playback so choppy! So, if I convert the audio to 48 Khz it should be fine? I did some editing already, do you think I can just replace the files with the newly converted ones and have them update my edit? Or will I have to start from scratch?

Thank you so much for this info!
