Hey John,
Some of the early external enclosures used a chipset that could only address 128gb. I have a couple of them still. Your Maxtor in a newer enclosure should initialize at the full 300gb. -
Select all your 10 sec. stills you wish to shorten in the bin and drag them to the timeline and then select all of them in the timeline>right click>duration and set to 5 seconds. This will then change all the selected stills to 5sec. Then drag them all back to the bin… and I usually make a new folder to drop them in… Usually faster than reimporting.

If your drives are SATA… then take a look at this:

We have had great luck with Firmtek stuff.
If the drives are IDE, check out this:

We have 4 Dell 24’s (2 per G5 system) and have nothing but good to say about them, especially for the price. All ours are running off DVI inputs and we do not use them for any playback, but we have no frame drop or any other issues (other than an Apple kinda guy having to look at a Dell logo.)

Audio is automatically embedded with video via SDI as long as your capture card and deck supports it and you have your project settings set properly. We regularly send/capture audio/video sdi to/from our Digibeta and DVCAM decks as 8 or 10 bit uncompressed via our Decklink Extreme card. You can even override/edit the easy setups to allow a dv timeline to use sdi instead of firewire. Make sure your deck inputs are set to input sdi, not firewire or analog.

Hey Chris… we are running Cin

SATA Raid works for us doing Blackmagic 10bit uncompressed. Recommend Seritek/Firmtek boxes and cards with hot swap inexpensive trays.

DL Extreme working great on our dual 2.7, 4gb ram, Xraid, PCI Fibre card and Firmtek SATA 4 port card: mostly running 10bit uncompressed.

With the cost of fast SATA hard drives at very low prices, we just capture 10bit uncompressed to start with and work in a 10bit timeline… no rendering.
Then we just use media manager to consolidate our clips and delete our unused stuff.
I highly recommend the Firmtek SATA boxes and, with 4 drives striped raid 0, we find we have plenty of overhead for all our 10 bit SD projects.

I have the same complaint and can’t find a way to turn it off… but as a work around I temporarily change the size of the problem track to make it “taller” and then the waveform can be clearly seen without the track name interferring.
