Happy Holidays to you, too. I have an external hard drive from MicroNet (www.micronet.com). This was recommended by the Mac Store. I have not tried to store directly from the software program, but I have not had any problems with data storage of FCS files (transferring all files from hard drive to external hard drive)or any graphics files from other programs. Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: janet dow [mailto:jldow@unity.ncsu.edu] Sent: Thursday, December 18, 2003 2:20 PM To: cyto-inbox Subject: hard drive for data storage. Happy holiday to all flowers: I recently purchase a extra hardrive(250 GB) to attach to my mac(FACSCalibur) as a way to storage all future data in a central location. I have unfortunatly discovered that the kind I purchased(Iomega HDD 250 GB firewire desktop harddrive) does not like to store data directly from the machine and freezes after about 10 data files. I then have to shut everything down and start everything all over again. I will use the drive for backup storage but would like to purchase one I can store data directly onto. Iomega is trying to help but doesn't really understand the nature of our data. I was hoping someone else might have tried this and found one that works. thanks in advance for all your help-as usual Janet Dow -- Janet Dow Research Technician and Manager Flow Cytometry Facility North Carolina State College of Veterinary Medicine Room C-314 Raleigh, NC 27606 (919)513-6364
