[QUOTE="ajhyun1601, post: 1410309, member: 255170"] So I installled a 120 GB Vertex 3 SATA III Gbps as the main drive and replaced my superdrive with a 750GB 7200RPM hard drive for extra storage. I also have a 8GB DDR3 memory. All is great but I seemed to notice that any programs running off of my external storage device (music - itunes and Call of Duty modern warfare 4 etc) keeps freezing. Sometimes it unfreezes and starts playing the music or game again but sometimes it takes a little while for it to unfreeeze. E.g. when I play music it randomly stops and then then starts playing again. Its really annoying as I can never get a smooth playtime with either games or listening to music. Also when it's stopped, if I click on the itunes the rainbow whirling icon pops up. Anybody have any advice?? [/QUOTE]
