[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1613369, member: 131855"] Here's a kind of kludge which should work if you are just using the drives for general storage. It's not a good idea for system files. 1. Make sure the new drives are properly formatted (Mac OS extended journaled in most cases. 2. Make an alias of the new drive and place it somewhere convenient. 3. When you drop files onto the alias the files are placed on the new drive. If you need to open one of those files either go to the original drive or the alias and open it. [/QUOTE]
