ineeddaspeed Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 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.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 You got a WD GP drive, don't expect it to be fast! Sequential reads might be ok but they're not built for speed, they're built to be quiet and save the planet. You need the Caviar Black or RE* models for that.
