hello. i recently bought a Samsung HD400LD external drive. i have transferred about 105 gigs of media, mostly mp3's and video files from my internal HD to this here external one. it is connected via USB 2.0.
initially (for the first few days) i could playback both the music and moving image without any delay issues at all. now as of late i cannot even listen to a simple mp3, such as a 128kb file of nina simone. this is extremely painfull, especially to my ears, brain and wallet.
i've checked to make sure the drive is listed under the USB 2.0 enhanced host controller in the device manager - ACPI/PCI menu. it is. the drivers are fine too, apparently. i really don't understand it.
i've spent a lot of money on this drive, i bought it off ebay, and quite frankly i'm a little disenchanted. do you ppl know what i could do to solve this playback issue? it really shouldn't be happening, especially with a file of such a small size. thank you, any help is appreciated.
