I know Rick commented on this... but if it's just starting to do that. I'd
say best buy a new 7200 HD or a Solid State Drive.
We had the same issue about a year ago with an older 1TB drive and it
started throwing up the slow drive speed problem. We replaced it with a
7200 4TB enterprise drive and haven't had any issues since. Here is the
one we got. It's an off brand drive, and is fairly cheap with a 2
year warranty.

Hi LPTV Loopers,
For my Masterplay system, it didn't play a file this morning and said to
check my drive/system speed. I suppose this means that the hard drive
needs to be replaced, right? I saw that the defrag tool automatically runs
every Wednesday at 1AM, so the drive is not fragmented.
Has anyone else experienced this? I have seen other warnings that files
were able to load but that they took a long time to load. Is there a
setting in Masterplay to load files sooner? In this case, it only tried to
load the file 6 seconds before it was to play.
