It may be nothing more than a system architecture issue? How it "saves" the Photoshop file, then passes the packet through the system bus to the PCI bus, the adaptec bridge board and to the external drive.I've got a PTP 225 with an xlr8 G4 450 card in it. I also added an Adaptec FireWire card to connect a LaCie 120G External Drive... When I'm working in Photoshop and go to save a file to the LaCie Drive, the transfer is slow and it seems like its pretty erratic judging from the activity in the blue indicator on the front of the drive.
anyone have any thoughts on this?
If you save it first to the internal HD then drag it to the external drive does it transfer at faster/smoother rate? As long as the finished file is complete, I wouldn't be too concerned about the flashing LED. No matter the upgrade, you still only have a 50 MHz bus on the PTP.
May be nothing more than "plumbing"?
