Greetings:
I have several Mac Computers a Mac Pro and an iMac. The iMac consists of the following.
OS X- 10.6.8
PROCESSOR-3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 4GB 800MHz DDR2 SDRAM
1-500GB Onboard Apple HD
1-1TB Western Digital Outboard HD USB Interfaced
This iMAC Computer has run very fast since I purchased it about 2 years ago. But, several weeks ago I noticed it was taking a very long time to upload RAW Images from my CF Cards. Also... when I import these RAW files into Photoshop Lightroom it takes the longest time to do this task. I use the Mac Pro from time-to-time but do not notice this slow and sluggishness like the iMac.
I have run several Disk Utilities as recommended by Associate Photographers but that does not seem to make any difference. I'm hoping that someone here on this Forum will be able to suggest some other methods to isolate or solve the problem, I'm beginning to think that the Outboard Drive has an issue. Suggestions and advice are always welcome.
