The general way of connecting external drives nowadays is via USB cable, and
that means the computer accesses/works on them a bit slower than internally
mounted drives, so, yes, this is to be expected, and therefore, while it
will still take a bit longer to copy large amounts of files onto an external
drive after unzipping them on an internal drive it might still be a bit
faster than unzipping them first locally and then copying them over, but
really depends on the number/size of the relevant files.
This is partially all due to data access via USB being slower than IDE
(Integrated Drive Electronics), which is what generally gets made use of for
internal drives.
Stay well

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Unzipping Folders
Using the 7 Zip program, it normally takes about 30 seconds to unzip a
folder which is saved on the
C Drive of my computer. I am now starting to put some stuff onto an
external hard drive, and I am
finding it takes anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes to unzip folders there. Is
this normal for an
external hard drive, or, am I doing something wrong? The external hard
drive that I am using is
called "Passport".
Thanks,
Donnie
