System:
1GHz PC (old but working OK)
256Mb Memory
Running Adobe Premier 6.0


I've had a well working system for some time, with a Western Digital
80Gb 7200rpm hard disc for video storage. I recently decided on a bigger
hard disc and bought a 120Gb 7200rpm Seagate drive.

However (there's always a *however*) the new drive produces stuttery
pictures. I've tried all sorts of options - master/slave etc all to no
improvement. It appears to capture fine because the material captured on
the 120Gb and then transferred to the old 80Gb drive is fine. It just
has trouble on playback from the Timeline.

The disc says it has 8Mb Cache, which I seem to recall is the same as
the 80Gb Western Digital.

Is there a problem with Seagate drives and video work?

Has anyone else suffered the same with these drives?

Thanks if you can help. If not, well thanks anyway!

Alan, Check if DMA is enabled on your new drive, if windows just sets it
to PIO only, you need to inform the BIOS of your pc you have a new hard
drive.

Mine currently are set at UDMA mode 5,

Start/Setings/Control Panel/System/Hardware/Device manager/IDE ATA
etc../Primary Channel/Advance Settings

Should get you there.... Well thats in XP anyway.

Good Luck

Peter

Thanks Peter.

I checked and they are both set for DMA.

I really thought I'd got the answer but....


Thanks very much anyway.

Perhaps, when you have your HDD problem fixed, you might like to learn how
to edit your replies to newsgroups ?.....

Perhaps you'd like to **** off and leave the rest of us to learn from
others with, perhaps more experiece and who are prepared to offer
guidance to those who want it.

There's always one on every NG and, on here, you seem to be it.

Oh well, here's another NG to avoid.

Thanks folks, for the help over the months. I'll not bother any more.

Bye.

is write behind cacheing enabled or disabled ?
on older drives it was a good idea to turn it off.
some new drives require it on to get max thruput.
