[QUOTE="Blue Energy, post: 695499, member: 109162"] Ah - yes, I see. You have a relatively very fast processor and very very fast disk. I checked out s couple of the other systems links as well. As it turns out, though, it isn't helpful to know only the manufacturer of the disk for this. We need to know the model as well. I plan to attempt to look-up the relative specs of each drive used for recording HD and see whether a pattern develops between the go and no-gos. As for processors, it would be helpful if you listed the entire name of your processor. For instance, Wile E. lists using an "Intel Core 2 Quad 2.66". But - there are several of those and they don't all have the same capability. Still - of the three systems I currently know at least something about... presuming that Wile E. is using the least powerful processor that meets the above description, there is possibly the beginning of an interesting trend: [FONT="Courier New"] USER EXPERIENCE PROCESSOR RELATIVE PROCESSOR POWER ------------- ------------------ -------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------ mdg78 Positive Intel Core2 Quad Q9400 @ 2.66GHz 3,809 Wile E.

But, with more data - we could fill in the blanks.
