directedition Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Hello, my system is running great with sound and networking and I am quite happy. I lack USB2 right now, but a card is in the mail to remedy that soon. My only real problem is that my harddrive is somehow very slow. Installing takes an hour. Final Cut can't play rendered video without occational frame drops. When copying a file from one partition to another, it's slow and I don't hear the usual griding noise that keeps me up at night. Is there a reason behind this? Could OSX be controlling the IDE channel through some sort of converter or emulator? I'm wondering if I might be better off buying a PCI IDE controller.
