I was hoping that someone here on the forum might be able to clear up a new issue I've run into with my Home DAW system using Logic.
My setup:
MBP 17" 2.16 Ghz / 2gb Ram
G-Drive: 1TB USB2 Drive or FW800
Motu 896hd, 8pre: Firewire 400 connected
Logic 9 (most recent update)
OSX 10.6.3
I don't know if that's enough info or not, but my system has run perfectly fine until a recent switch onto this Hard Drive. My old setup used an older EZQuest 250gb Firewire 800 drive.
The issue I noticed yesterday with the new setup was that the G-Drive 800 was completely unstable when plugged into the Firewire 800 port only when the Motu equipment was ran through the 400 port simultaneously. I couldn't keep the Audio Equipment recognized through 400 while keeping the 800 drive mounted simultaneously. One at a time, fine, both, no go. This never used to be a problem with the EZQuest drive.
I then jumped to USB2 on the 1TB drive. The drive mounted fine and the system could run both the FW400 + USB without a problem. However, this seemed to be a major problem with glitches and errors stopping ANY project file that I opened on the drive with at an interval of every 15 seconds.
My question the forum is if anyone can recommend the best way for me to run this setup?
I would like to be able to run my 1TB Drive, My Firewire 400 Audio Interface(s), then any additional USB midi controllers through my USB hub. Any help would be appreciated!
