thanks for the guidance:
Yes.. I use the Browse Music Folder option via the SB3 interface.
I have installed a USB 2.0 card in the back of my PIII .. the external
HD is connected to this slot.
The HD is made by Western Digital technical specs as follows:
Rotational Speed 7,200 RPM (nominal)
Buffer Size 2 MB
Average Latency 4.20 ms (nominal)
Seek Times
Read Seek Time 8.9 ms
Track-To-Track Seek Time 2.0 ms (average)
Serial Transfer Rate
USB 2.0
Serial Bus Transfer Rate (USB 2.0) 480 Mbits/s (Max)
My PC, although old.. is not used for anything other than running SS
and browsing the net. I have no other apps to speak of running other
processes.
Basically I am trying to figure what I should best do to speed up
overall performance... if the PC can work then I am not minded to
change it out... as for the HD .. I have jsut noted that mine only has
2 mb buffer size and new models extend up to 8 mb and 16 mb cache /
buffer size.... I am thinking of getting a new external HD as I am
running out of storage.. do you think the added buffer size will
assist?
thanks
