Udderwise, why'd you >upgrade the desktop? :-) I built the new desktop because its predecessor was 11 years old and starting to have issues. And yes, I went to great lengths to ensure that it had USB 3.1 Gen 2 and a fast CPU, but only to future-proof it. I do not currently own any 3.1 Gen 2 devices, but I'm sure that someday I will. As for why I do not use it for my video work, sometimes I do. But my main storage is in a 16TB USB 3.0 enclosure, and I don't know how to connect it simultaneously to two computers. When I use the desktop for video work I output to USB sticks and physically move them to the laptop. I have done so a few times and it takes about half the time that the task would have taken on the laptop. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
