Just wanted to share my experience... I was getting lots of 9173 CPU errors (even though I was only using a tiny bit of the computers CPU) and just couldn't really run most sessions at a 32 or 64 sample buffer size (was having problems on bigger sessions all the way up to 512). Chalked it up to PT11 bugs and have been pretty frustrated.
I'm running Pro Tools HD Native on a new Mac Pro (trashcan) with 32 Gigs of RAM. I WAS using a quad Firewire Satellite but just got the Thunderbolt Octo running and I'm about 99% certain it was the Firewire Satellite that was making my system run so poorly. I just plugged in the Thunderbolt Octo and loaded the biggest session I have, one with tons of plug ins and tons of UAD plug ins, and switched the buffer size to 32 and it's been running perfectly with no hiccups. Tried to break it by stopping and starting quickly (which used to cause the 9173 error) and skipping around a lot but couldn't break it. Huge session running perfectly at 32 buffer size! Super speedy and not buggy. I feel like it's FINALLY running how it always should've.
So just wanted to share this with people who might be in a similar situation. There are so many variables that it's hard to figure out what might be causing issues but this was one of those rare moments of a controlled change that helped me identify that PT11 HD Native + the *firewire* UAD Satellite = bad news. And that the new Thunderbolt Satellite = smooth sailing. (It would make sense that sending all that data over the firewire cable and back was causing a bottleneck and stopping everything from running smoothly). OK - hope that helps someone out there....
