[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 1507476, member: 38928"] It's not just about speed but about the way the drive controller handles transfers. USB can be notoriously picky about lots of smaller files and simultaneous back and forth traffic. If a glitch occurs, iPhoto will err on the side of caution and stop, rather than corrupting data. At least once it's done you'll just be adding to it. Just for additional info. Mac OSX can read NTFS (likely the PC disk format you have on your other disk). A mere $20 will get you [URL="http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/"]Paragon NTFS[/URL] - lets you read and write to NTFS. It's a proven and popular choice for many forum users. Just an abstract thought for another time perhaps. [/QUOTE]
