Hi everyone!
I have the new intel imac with the FW800, a digi003R+ and I have just added a maxtor OneTouch 4 Plus 500GB firewire 400 drive to the setup.
It is setup as iMac>drive>003+
Ok, so the drive works fine, BUT, if i havent used the drive for 30 seconds and then i go to hit record, the Mac spinning wheel comes up for about 7 seconds, then it records (you can hear the drive loading up).
Is this normal or have i bought a drive that is too slow?
Also, ive been using it all day with no problems but besides that.
Suddenly tonight, i was playing something back in protools and it cut out and a message came up saying that the drive may have a problem accessing or that it was too slow or something like that (i should have saved the message). It was basically telling me that the drive was causing a problem.
Does this mine my drive is too slow? I hope not, because it means i will have to go back to the store and try and get my money back
Thanks for your help guys
James
