Agreed, but if all she needs to do is move a shit ton of stuff between two computers, and doesn't want to buy more than the external drive she already has, then why not?

If all she needs is some additional storage without additional purchase, just plug the drive into one of the computers and share it over the network from there. Agreed that the convenience of having the storage available over the network probably outweighs the speed issue. But I have just used the sneakernet method when copying my library of movies from one computer to another.

True, but aren't the drives + USB still potentially faster than wireless?

The only reason I can think of for an external drive over doing it the way SAM and Dashrender suggestion is if you need to move a large amount of data more quickly. USB can be faster than over the network.

Too little too late. And the city size hasn't been increased.

Yeah... I have no idea what's going on...

When PSX is talking, that is often the case for a lot of us

Agreed, but I was assuming this was just ad-hoc home storage, right Katie? If it is for a work application then I'll defer to SAM

@Katie yeah, Windows is a bit of a pain in the ass about allowing access to the NTFS format, which is why I like HFS better if you need big files. You can get utilities to write NTFS on Mac, but you'll have to pay for them.. If you don't have any files larger than 4GB then exFAT is perfectly fine - that's usually what most USB drives are formatted with for compatibility.

Depends on what you need. If you need files larger than 4GB then FAT won't cut it. Failing that, it is generally easier to get Windows to read HFS than Mac to read NTFS, at least if you don't want to drop any coin.

Welcome aboard!

It does It's kinda nice to go back to some of the smaller milestones and go through that process again.

We passed over the milestone of 10k users on our community, so our marcom team put together a nice infographic for me. It turned out pretty cool, so I thought I'd share it with you guys:

@Bill-Kindle Yeah it is one of my favorite articles explaining how corporations work, and why you get incompetent middle management.

Yup, showing for me now.

Windows 7, Intel i7 something or other, NVidia 680. SSD of course!
