Some time back I moved all my purchased movies to an external drive connected to my AirPort Extreme. I am afraid of running out of room so I bought a 1TB Toshiba Canvio 3.0 Plus.
I copied all the movies onto it but I'm having problems. Sometimes while watching a movie in iTunes on my MacBook Pro it will freeze and seem to lock up iTunes for several seconds.
Today I was trying to copy. Newly purchased movie over to it and I got an error and it basically licked up Finder.
I had not had any problems with the old 360GB drive I was using before. So I suspect there is something wrong with the Toshiba drive.
I noticed that it goes to sleep when not in use but that shouldn't happen when watching something.
Anyway I wanted to see if anyone had any ideas. I will check the drive for errors later.
By the way the drive is supposed to be USB 3.0/2.0
