[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1003370, member: 46727"] Indexing an external hard drive can actually slow down access to it. I never allow Spotlight to index an external hard drive or a flash drive. As a matter of fact, I have indexing turned off even for my internal drive. Try copying all your image files over again to the external hard drive if possible and turn Spotlight indexing off. Regards. [/QUOTE]
