I am using a Mac.
Pervious Harddisk is full harddisk not a partition,
Current one is one of the 2 partition of a LaCie raid, formatted for “speed” – Raid 0

Is partition not fit for InDesign?

What is the problem “playing on fire” for using external harddisk? As iMac is used in my office, and change is difficult, we all works on external (all basic INDD was in a drobo, which suppose “almost” not die). The internal harddisk only use for OS and application, then when a Mac was fail, I can easily swap the job to another Mac or notebook.

I have a portable HD which for bringing jobs home, it was format to one window and one Mac partition, but it don’t have the problem,

As we need to work on originals provided by client, these was stored in another external. May be I need to consider expand my Drobo for that, and solely use the LaCie for other purpose if it cannot be solve.
