Performance problems with PT

Hey,

it's me again.
I'm having some performance issues with PT10 again on my desktop.
I have PT10 on my laptop which is vastly inferior to my desktop PC but it never has an lag or buffering issues but I get an error message at least once a minute on my PC that the program isn't getting data fed quickly enough from my HD. I have SSDs and Quad Core CPUs in both of them and I'm using the exact same Pro Tools file. The one on the desktop even has less plug-ins working since I don't have Guitar rig running over two of the tracks.

I tried lowering the buffer size and delay compensation engine and it has helped marginally. What else can I do and what is the bigger issue? My desktop clocks in much higher in benchmarks than my laptop.

There's probably more to it but you should be raising the buffer size to avoid issues.
A 1024 buffer size is less likely to have hiccups than a 128 buffer size, for example.

If that's no use, come back and let us know. :)
 
Ha, ya, my bad :P

I've figured out that my SSD might be dying. It's an early model and apparently they start to slow down quickly :/
