I'm taking a Avid QT ref SD 1:1 mxf file with 4 tracks of audio and using QT Pro to export a self contained QT directly to a LaCie Rugged Mini. The Mini is USB buss powered with a USB to internal connection cable with two mini and micro usb connectors mounted together side by side. In activity monitor it shows Data written/sec bouncing between 14.5 to 16.38 MB. I never really look at these activity monitor parameters so I don't have a feel for what they should or could be. Could anyone tell me if I would be better off creating the QT self contained movie to the internal drive and then copying the file to the Rugged Mini or is the throughput of the USB connected LaCie Rugged Mini not a factor in the time QT Pro takes to export the file. In other words does exporting directly to the LaCie mini slow down QT Pro's processing of the file because it's having to wait for the LaCie to write the data before moving on to more processing.
