That's the time it takes for the X-Drive to copy files to its internal hard drive. Once hooked up to the PC it acts as a USB 2 card reaer as well, and then it can pump the data to the computer at about 1 gig per 4 minutes. But it's internal hardware for writing to the 40 gig drive inside is pretty slow (but then it's an old device.) - MCC -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Mark Cassino Photography Kalamazoo www.markcassino.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
