Walter,
When powering down, I eject the external hard drive from my finder window, once the lacie hard drive is no longer on my desktop, I pull the plug, which turns the hd off. That is the proper shut down method, correct?
In the past though, there were a few times when the plug was pulled from the computer while the hard drive was being used ;-(
Thanks for the input. For now, I’ve been leaving the hard drive on, connected to my computer. Also one other thing, am I not supposed to use the same port that I use when importing footage from my camera then disconnect from the camera so I can transfer footage to my hard drive? I received a post that kinda made it seem that I was doing something incorrectly.
