Re: Error -9073 - Disk too slow
I'm guessing you're recording to your system drive, which is a no-no unless you have HD license and Disc Cache

Re: Error -9073 - Disk too slow
Sounds like disk errors if your mac is slow
Open Disk Utility and Verify it. If you get lots of Red Text, you need to repair it.. |

Re: Error -9073 - Disk too slow
I started getting the -9073 error yesterday running a session with about 30 tracks and lots of edits, though no plug-ins. I removed some of the tracks which helped briefly then the problem started again. I just replaced my Mac Pro 1,1 with a 2012 Mac Mini i7 2.6 gHz quad core with an SSD start up drive and I'm using a G-Drive mobile thunderbolt drive for audio, along with my old Digi 003 console and Digimax FS preamp. I have had no issues with my new set up until this problem started. I thought it might be a thunderbolt issue so I plugged in the HD via its USB 3.0 port, but the problem remained. Then I tried playing back the session from my FW800 backup drive. Still the same error message. I tried playing a different project and it played fine. So my next hunch was that the problem session was corrupted. I created a new session and imported all the tracks into the new session and started working without any problems. I did a lot of editing and even added a couple new tracks and still no problem. So I'm guessing that the older session was corrupted, but I'm wondering what would cause that.
The error message: "DAE can't get audio from the drive fast enough. Your drive may be too slow or fragmented or a firewire drive could be having trouble due to the extra firewire bandwidth or CPU load" made no sense since it's a 7200 rpm thunderbolt drive. |

Re: Error -9073 - Disk too slow
Went back to late and got the error -9073 again on the new session I created importing the tracks from the original problem session. Not as bad as before but still unnerving. Any idea what might be causing it?

Two strikes against you. Use an external 7200 RPM drive for Pro Tools Sessions.

Re: Error -9073 - Disk too slow
The G drive is less than half full (538 gb remaining of 999). The drive is 7200 rpm and is recommended for audio and video media. I'm not sure of the manufacturer for the drive but I think that G Tech uses Hitachi drives, and is actually owned by Hitachi.
