So the new cards are in the system and the hardware seems happy. Interestingly after pulling out and re-seating the old cards, they also seemed happier, but now we're running into a new issue I could use some insight into...

On this system he has the internal SCSI "audio disk", and also an external 300 gig disk that is connected via firewire. I believe that before the crash, he would typically keep his audio sessions and data on the external 300 gig drive, and there was enough throughput there that everything worked fine.

Now, with either set of cards, he keeps getting DAE error messages about "Your disk may be too slow or too fragmented". This happens on both the internal SCSI audio disk, and also the external firewire disk.

He does report that "smaller sessions with fewer tracks do seem to play okay"... and that it's mostly larger, more recent sessions that are unable to play.

Is there an obvious configuration issue that might cause this to happen? At some point the larger sessions on both of those disks were able to play successfully. Could disk fragmentation really be the issue? He mentioned something about possibly having an old copy of DiskWarrior... but neither of us want to mess with that unless fragmentation truly is likely to be a source of problems.

Advice would be highly appreciated...
