Only a couple of tracks have dropouts – record direct to hard drive via USB

Hi,

Thank you for your answer. Remember, I had also tested a Western Digital 2,5″ HDD (7200U/min) and had within 1:10h recording time also 23Dropouts. And we didn´t had problems with vibrationen or anything else. I think all newer HDD have enough I/O-performance. 32 mono tracks, 48kHz/24bit, have 4,5MB/sec amounts of data. It couldn´t be a challenge for a new HDD. Before I did the firmware-update, everthing was ok.

Is it possible turn back to the older firmware?

Sad but true, it seems, it will be pure happiness to find a funktioning HDD. That´s not ok.

Best regards Alex
