[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 1084974, member: 56231"] A WD Raptor external drive, 10K/16 Mb cache speed, *might* solve the issue. Certainly cheaper than a more powerful Mac. [What are your iMac specs? Put them in your profile.] Given however what you're loading on to the iMac's logic board/firewire, a Mac Pro with FW800 and dual/multiple drives, and therefore internal SATA connection speed, would be a good - but expensive - option. A comment from another M-F member says that he's never had any success with an eSATA card in a G5 dual core PPC. Others may have achieved better. [/QUOTE]
