I have a Western Digital Firewire MyBook Premium. When I go into Windows Explorer and click on the drive letter there is a 4-5 second delay, but after that delay the drive is very fast until I stop using it for a while and have to go through the process again.
What's causing that bit of latency? I don't have this problem at all on my USB hard drive (or any other hard drive on my system).
I don't know if this is relevant, but the drive is plugged into the firewire port on my sound card (Sound Blaster Audigy2)....however I once attached my friend's camera to that firewire port with no initial latency problem that I can remember.
Drive came as FAT32 but I reformatted (using quick format) to NTFS when I got it.
thanks
