My edit suite comes to a grinding halt thanks to windows 7

[James d Page]

I get my scarlet, so upgrade my I7 based edit suit, preimier CS5.5 goto 18GB of ram and a GTX870 for the cuda and put on windows 7 nice clean sweep format C drive and create a new internal raid array and reinstall drivers.

Great, untill it takes an hour to tranfer 14 GB (Thats about 4MB/s) from a portable hardrive on to my 4 disk raid 5 array. So test Iest Portable hardrive to portable hard drive via USB the same slow result, copying from the raid array to the program disk, about twice that (8MB/s).

This was not the case before, even with the cardinal sin of Vista I was get over five times the USB performance and the Raid perfomance was fine.
unsurprisingly CS5.5 thinks it should be fine for play back but just grinds to a halt.

Obviously something is amiss here, though it's hard for us to be able to recommend or suggest ideas when not much information has been given. If I was guessing though, this sounds like a driver problem - either with your USB controllers or some part of the RAID setup...

 

[James d Page]

That was my first thought, when I got the slow performance with the default drivers which I replaced with the MSI drivers for the motherboard and still the same. The odd thing is it's not just one system, it appears to be any data transfer whether that be via usb, or the internal conections Raid or not Raid. It's not an intrisic hardware problem as it worked fine before. All I can think is that as it is an older I7 board 2008 vintage working with the much newer windows 7 then perhaps there is an issue there.

This is something that I'd be interested in a solution to. I'm running a blazing fast Windows 7 system - I7 dual threaded six-core processor, Rampage IV motherboard, 64GB of RAM, two GTX 680s and it has an annoying tendency to to grind to a screeching halt during transfers and takes about a year and a half to save small projects - like coffee break time. I do also get what I consider to be slow transfers going from my REDstation to a 7200 3TB internal drive via esata - takes about 40-50 minutes to transfer a single 256 card.

I'd love it if I was doing something wrong here so I don't have to upgrade all my hard drives to SSDs or FusionIOs pcie cards...

i run mutiple fast w7 ultimate systems, my take is that it's not w7 that's your problem, it's the install.. this is not normal perforrmance.

But without much more detail it's pretty much impossiable to sort, id suggest taking it to a MCSE and get them to set it up for video
