Searched around on here for anyone posting the same problem to no avail.
....My Acer 17" wide screen Lappy was out on location doing 13 family portraits today for a local school. Thing is, after the first CF uploaded the 1st family, the lappy slowed right down and even froze a few times. The whole thing had to be rebooted 3 times. One customer's hubby claimed to be a whizz on computers and offered his advice of uploading straight onto an external HD bypassing the Lappy's internal memory.
So.......Now I am back at home, I decided to experiment - and plugged my Western Digital 1TB and proceeded to upload the CF as if on location. Still painfully slow.
Can anyone throw some light onto why the uploading slows everything down and if using an external HD would be better and faster - of course that's assuming I am using it incorrectly.
What do you guys do? and how did you decide on this best method.
