I don't think a USB drive has a fast enough data throughput for video editing
Do a test using your RAID to see if that works

Harm Millaard Nov 19, 2010 2:17 PM (in response to nathapushpa)You have made a giant mistake in setting up your disks like that. Your currently have:
1. A gigantic 1.09 TB raid5 for OS & program, which is very fast (around 170 MB/s transfer rate) of which you use about 40 GB.
2. A very slow USB drive that is only suitable for backups (around 20 MB/s transfer rate).
What you should do is:
1. Get a new Samsung F4 320 GB disk for OS & proagrams ( around € 30) or better. The F4 gives the best bang-for-the-buck.
2. Use the raid5 for all your other requirements, projects, media, media cache, etc.
3. Use the USB disk for backups and possibly for exports,
You will likely get transfer rates around 120 MB/s for 1, 170 MB/s for 2 and 20 MB/s for 3.
This € 30 investment will increase your performance significantly.
To paraphrase Armstrong: "A small step for man, a giant step for mankind", would tramslate into: "A small investment for you, a giant step in your performance".

JSS1138 Nov 19, 2010 2:50 PM (in response to nathapushpa)However good the advice of the others may be, your hard drive setup should not cause Premiere to freeze so that you have to CTRL+ALT+DELETE to get out of it. If that's happening, something else is likely going on here.
However, I'm not quite understanding your original post. What do you mean when you say when playback reaches the blank clips, CS4 freezes. What are the "blank clips"?
