RE: [Digital BW] Re: Hard drive full

2004-08-26 by Joe Dempsey

I have two 120 Maxtor externals and like Bob, I have yet to find a downside.
On one of them I used with my laptop, I had a small partition made and used
it for a scratch disk for Photoshop. That's not the best arrangement but it
was an improvement. Transferring is a matter of drag an drop.

  let me second Clayton's suggestion for an external USB hard drive.
  They're cheap, fast, as big as you want and so convenient. I've yet to
  find the downside to them.
