10k rpm Raptor SATA drive (mobo onboard sata) sync problem..

[musomackem]

I've been using Logic 5.5 very happily on my PC for a number of years with no real problems, but recently bought a Western Digital Raptor 10,000 rpm SATA drive and it's annoyingly not working with Logic.

 

The first thing I did was to move all of my session files / audio files etc. over to the new drive, expecting a slight performance boost.

 

Instead, I get the much maligned "Error synchronising audio and midi - sample rate 40,339(or whatever) recognised."

 

I know the problem is down to the drive because I moved the files back to my IDE drive and they all work fine.

 

It's very annoying because the reason I went for the "fastest non-SCSI drive on the market" was to get more out of my audio software, but now it seems all I've got is a 140GB storage drive for mp3s etc... if that's what I'd wanted I wouldn't've bothered going for the super-swish Raptor drive, I'd've got a 500GB IDE IBM/Hitachi Deskstar or something for the same price.

 

Any ideas?

Probably the driver for your SATA controller is causing problems... How up to date is your hardware? Hope this helps.

I'm using the same drive and logic works fine
