SC, good to see you taking that decision so seriously. I like remaining mobile also. Bought a Western Digital Essential 250 GB Ext drive and it’s been really weird. The first files I put there, I have no problem with ON MY LAPTOP. I can go in, access the files and cut. My desktop, however, won’t recognize the drive and when I try to access other files that are in it, while on my laptop, I can’t. Been trying to figure this out for a week now. Naturally, I had to change the name of the subsequent files, but it seems that when I did that, they got corrupted some how. Although I don’t REALLY buy that argument either because when I simply click-on the folders, everything is there and seems to be in place…just cannot access within Avid. And by all systems checks, the drive is working properly. Don’t know if this helps you because on the one hand, it works perfectly and on the other it doesn’t work at all. Be nice if it just worked perfectly.
