Just bought a 2tb Western Digital WD20EADS hdd. After formating, defraging and running it through all of the WinDLG tests IMGBurn's buffer and device buffer is all over the place while burning 3 different images from same 2tb drive. Discs do come out fine though just taking longer now with this new hdd. This happens with verabtim dvdr discs too. I uninstalled everything under IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers and rebooted and still the same thing. All the channels have advance settings on "Auto detection" and " DMA if available". All the settings in IMGBurn are default. My PC has a fresh install from at least 3 months ago and I don't have anything "heavy" running in the background. I never had a problem with my 1.5 or 2tb Seagate drives. With those two Seagate drives I could be multitasking while my 3 discs were burning and my "buffer" wouldn't even go down pass 99% on any of the three running IMGBurns. Just wondering is there anything else that I can do. TIA.
