I created a new program on an external Seagate 1tb drive from material on that drive of 104 events from photos When it was rendered it crashed. I moved it to c drive and sony rendered it ok. I reduced the number of events (Pictures) to 90 to make sure I did't miscount and moved it back to the external drive and it rendered ok. Unless I made a mistake I looks like Sony cant handle anything on an external drive over 100 events.
Western Digital is going to call but I will tell them their drive is not the cause of this instance. Today I was working on a Seagate 1tb drive so WD is not the problem. Both drives have crashed. Or the size is not the problem. If I had nothing to do I could use a smaller drive but at the moment I have other things to do. I don't think a smaller drive would make any difference. I am amazed that I got this kind of response from Western Digital so in the future if possible my purchases will be western Digital drives. Thanks for your help. You really helped a lot.
Hope to see you
