1. Re: Possible to put image library on external drives connected to Airport Extreme?
Noel Carboni Jun 23, 2014 3:34 AM (in response to Philipus)Unfortunately opening/saving very large files on network drives can be stressful and problematic.
For that reason Adobe suggests not opening / saving files directly on network servers / drives, but instead copying files to/from the network resources with your OS tools - e.g., Finder - and working on them on your hard drive. This is also a good habit to get into because at any time on your hard drive you have a working version that you might be saving repeatedly, and you also have the last uploaded version on your network drive as a reference copy.
That said, you may find it much more convenient to use your network storage directly. Nothing's stopping you from trying; perhaps your network is so stable and error-free that you'll not have any problems. But be aware that even a stable network can introduce different timing into the process, and even that can cause problems.

Philipus Jun 24, 2014 2:27 AM (in response to Noel Carboni)Thanks very much. This all makes sense. I think I will check performance using a USB drive I have lying around. If that turns out to be stable enough I might go ahead.
Cheers
Philip
