Howdy, I noticed videos started doing this weird stutter so I checked the messages file. As to changes, I moved a external hard drive into the case and I added a hard drive to my data group. It's up to 60TBs now. I did move the case but the system ran the whole time. Love hot plugging SATA drives. This is the only error I can find so I figure this is somehow causing my video to stutter. This is what is in the messages log, filtering out the unneeded cruft.

It worked fine after last weekends update up until the drive additions and case move. The only change is adding those drives and moving the case so I can take the sides off. I did some searching. Most problems point to a bad driver. Since I haven't changed drivers and it worked fine for months, I doubt that is my problem. Could this be a bad cable or some other issue? I unplugged and plugged the cables back up. Given I only have to twist my case enough to take the sides off, I'm kinda doubtful it is a cable but weird things happen. I might also add, as I type this message, when it stutters, it also stops seeing what I'm typing. It leaves out characters I've typed. It kinda freezes everything for a second or so. Pretty annoying. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Ran into this problem and found a fix? I'll keep trying things. See if I luck up on something in the meantime. Thanks. Dale :-) :-)
