Hi,
When I installed Tiger a few months ago I partitioned my Hard Drive into 60/80 partitions. I figured I could have all my captured media from FCP on the 80 GB partition and have OS X my music and apps on the other.
I hadn't noticed any problems until yesterday. FCP says that I am dropping frames a lot more than I've noticed. It will almost always drop frames when the playhead goes from a clip and music to just music with a black screen (no clip). Is this because I'm forcing the drive to work harder because of the partition (making the head have to go back and forth)?
If this is true, this means I have to reformat my drive, as that 80 GB is really a waste.
Do you think if I keep it like this it will cause any problems other than dropping frames in FCP? (I can live with that)
Will it get worse as I start working with more complicated media?
Thanks
