Thanks Frank,
My Seagates record at HQ5 without a problem as long as I don't go beyond about
8 or 9 minutes. And if I start the drives cold, like when I first boot up, they
will usually play a long project with very little stutter.
As the drives warm up, the stutter increases.
I've been trying to keep about 8 minutes of unused disk space on each drive,
which is around 25% of empty space. So, maybe they are performing about the
same as the Micropolis.
Since the introduction of the HQ5 setting, I have not been using the STANDARD
setting.
You are probably right about waiting to try and get a Quantum. If they were
able to make a 2GB drive that NewTek approved, maybe they can do it with a 9GB.
We both have the Flight Recorder tower. Is there room in that for a third 9GB
drive? Am I correct, that if I install a third 9GB drive, the Flyer will
recognize it as well as the other two drives, so that all three would operate
at the same time?
Fred
