rharv - you've got me curious. Why TempAudio particularly? Mine's actually called Rudolph and it seem to work ok.

James - the point both rharv and I are making is that we don't know how you're connecting the sata drive to the PC. It's not the speed of the drive which could be a problem, it's the sustained transfer speed of the connection. The most common is USB and as rharv says, there's a big difference between USB 1/2/3.
