hi there
i just bough this nice looking 1tb MY Studio Passport drive - it has 2 firewire ports and one usb 2.0 for use with my 27" imac running Lion operating system - i moved my movie files over to this drive these are basically 1-4 gb avi and MKV type of files - the only problem is when i try and play the movie files off the harddrive they take a long time to start up sometimes up to 20-30 seconds - when i play the same movie files of the main harddrive or any other external harddrive i have that is usb 2.0 they start almost instant - i even tried to change the cable to usb on this western digital drive no luck - reformatting the drive - NO luck - im very frustrated by this as i bought this drive soley for quick media access - i have never seen a drive this SLOW to play movies - firewire is supposed to be fast !! Any advice would be most appreciated -
