morning.

just had another money making idea Alex, we could do a pay per view service whereby people who can't make the live show could download it in MPEG format

Jolly good! Brilliat plan! But I am off to the shower now (no, no pay per view there! )

 

[ferny]

and once we have the numbers we could sell the undies on ebay!
thus more money!
thus more girls!
thus more undies!
and the circle of life begins again

Remember they're a bit like cars and previous owners. The value goes down as the number of sniffs goes up.

Thanks for reminding me to back up some files.
Can I ask what type of drives you are using?

Harddrives

3 x 300 MByte external

1 x 700something MByte external

edit: GIGABytes of course ...

/\ guess you mean gigabytes

 

[digital flower]

Thanks. I meant what type of hard drive, USB or such. It seemed to take a long time.

:lmao:... of course!!!

still not used to the fact that times have changed

I am using usb 2 or what it is called ... not the fastest ... but then again it is only backups ...

I was copying from an internal 200gb 7200rpm to a Freecom external USB 400gb http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?fre-27048&P=1

I guess I am spoiled with FireWire transfer rates. Thanks for replying.

I do have firewire with 3 of my external drives ... not really much faster than usb 2.0 ...so I do not use it as I do not have firewire with all my computers.

So far its taken 2½ hours and I've still got to wait another 123 minutes

All this just to copy 7311 raw files 53.3gb

It isn't the Fire Wire then. I was just wondering what took LP so long. Maybe because it was RAW? I just transfered around 7500 JPEG and TIFF files from my hard drive to a external FW drive. It was only 10.7GBs but it copied in 11 minutes. I am not a real technical person but still interested in the difference.

PS. I use a older model G4

I have not backed up since the November 05 New York meet-up, it about 447gb I need to backup, think I need to get started soon
