Thanks Again Neil
I hope that's what it is. Makes sense. To top it off I don't believe my usb ports are 3.0 on my HP. I do have a quadro 2000 but been meaning to upgrade. I have two internals, one that has my program files and another in which I store my project files and scratch disk. Also 20GB of ram. Technology moves so fast that these all get old quick. I cant believe how many people are trying to shoot and edit 4k now. Def need to upgrade my system before I even think about that. I will check out the tweakers page and look for the best options for a "balanced system". I will also post whether or not the USB drive was the issue.
Thanks Again
