Well I ordered a Sonnett USB2 express card /34 & an all in 1 HDD docking caddy that holds 2 x SATA 2.5" or 3.5" drives…
Total cost for the 2 about $150 AUS.
AND…
WOW… What a difference!!!
This system absolutely rips now.
I pulled up a job I’d just completed with about 16 tracks a few plug ins & a video file.
It worked before but the video playback was pretty ordinary & a real pain to match audio to picture.
Not any more.
Very happy !!!
