Hi Bob. Hope I understand AJA System Test correctly. Test: Disk Read/Write on Biggest S2S says Write: 167.4MB/s and Read: 161.7 MB/s with video frame size of 1920×1080 10-bit.

Thanks

Hi Gary, since last message have moved Kona LHe back to Slot 3 with Lacie SATA ll 3Gb/s PCI-Express Card 4E in slot 4 and reset Expansion slot utility to 1) x16 2) x1 3) x4 and slot 4) x4. LaCie Biggest S2S is set to standard default out of the box RAID 0 configuration. Did not light up at first until drivers were updated but seems to mount OK up till now.

XDCAM EX media played in FCP still drops frames from the Lacie. Displays first couple of frames ok but then drops frames almost immediately. I still need to try your option of shifting LHe to slot 4 and Lacie card to slot 3 and watch what happens. What Alternate PCI Express Profile should I select? New position will pop up on boot, I think? Ordinary DVCAM sequence content also looks soft?

Other config info is:
Mac Pro2,1
OS 10.4.11
RAM: 4GB (How do I need to config the RAM?)
Quicktime 7.5.5
FCP 6.0.5
Also Kona KL Box (SDI output 1 to Kona Hi5 for HDMI output to Samsung flatscreen)
3 x 1TB internal drives
1 x 1.3TB internal drive
(so drive bays all occupied)

Thanks again for assistance. I’ll wait for a response on current setup otherwise I’ll try your slot swop suggestion.
Regards
Wayne
