[QUOTE="Quilica, post: 1836071, member: 403511"] I have used external drives only for backup on my Macs. Not for anything else. My question is in way of wanting to expand the use of these devices. Rather than use them solely for back up what and how can they be used to run apps or programs and is it feasible to put apps on them to run straight from those drives. If it works (and I'm making myself clear) to run programs or apps from external drives is there a noticeable lag in response time? I'm not certain that I'm asking all of this correctly so I thought you would fill me in so that I can educate myself on this subject. [/QUOTE]
