I haven't seen this mentioned before -- USB3 being problematic for video playback. I'm curious if other folks on the list are having any issues with USB3 media drives?
Can you be more specific about the problems it gave you, Jeff?
Thanks,

Steven,
I've found in real world applications that although USB3 offers fast data transfers, it doesn't do very well on sustained data transfers (like video wants). As a result we stick with Firewire 800 / Esata / Thunderbolt on our macs when it comes to video.
For storing data USB3 is great - you can copy to it quickly... it just didn't treat us right when it came to video.I think that you'll be very happy with Thunderbolt storage instead of USB.
(hang a Promise Pegasus RAID off of thunderbolt and the speed will blow your mind! ;) )

KIND OF DEPENDS on what format you're trying to read. My iMac 27" was working fine until I started using AVCHD recorded at 50MBPS (Lumix GH3). I tried upping the RAM to 16GB, and it improved slightly, but that's still not doing it. I'm working off of a USB 3 drive. Next is higher RAM, and possibly a thunderbolt dock….
