dear all,
my external hard drives (lacie rugged firewire) are causing havoc and massive frustration by freezing my final cut pro / mac.
this has never happened to me before, but since a few weeks, it's happening on a daily base, on 2 different macs (macpro (mac os x 10.6.8) & macbookpro (mac os x 10.5.8)). i plug in the hard drive, it works for a while (it seems that the longer i haven't used it, the longer it works) and then i get the apple beachball of doom... the "freeze" stops after unplugging the hard drive.
i have tried different cables, i have tried repairing the disks through disk utility, but nothing seems to help.
also, one of the lacie ruggeds has stopped working... it went "read only" and i had to format it.
someone told me it had something to do with my BIOS, but that's unknown territory for me.
thanks in advance to everyone even reading this, your help is greatly appreciated!
