And it's not split amongst other USB drives. I'm also wondering why my USB 3.0 hub isn't as fast as plugging directly in? It is a powered hub. This could happen back in the USB 2.0 day's which is why the pro's use the Firewire. I don't want to lose any samples, not even a droplet of audio while recording. To those who want to know why I need to know if this is important, I am recording very serious music. Does it really matter? Is the constant burst of USB 3.0 so fast that in all reality it doesn't matter if it's constant stream? But I keep hearing people online say NO, yes it's faster BUT the firewire 800 is better for audio/video because it's a constant stream and not a burst. I'm feeling like when I use USB 3.0 it's much better. The one's I'm using now, give me the option of USB 3.0 or firewire 800. Now, while at home I have MANY external professional grade desktop drives. If I plug it straight into the macbook, it pegs out on the black magic speed test app. If I plug it into the hub it runs at a speed of a USB 2.0 5400rpm drive. When I speed test it, KEEP IN MIND this is not even an SSD drive, it test's almost as high as my internal SSD drive. I have one of those Touro external portable USB drives that are 7200RPM. I know that Firewire 800 gives a constant stream and USB gives, "burst," But those burst are VERY fast on USB 3.0. They don't guess or encourage you to use what they are using. But I wanted to ask it here because the people here have general knowledge of just how things work. This question has been asked on forums that pertain to final cut, and logic pro.
