I've just read a few interesting articles on Lightroom and the pros of having the catalogue and all the pictures on an external hard drive and wanted to see if anyone here had done the same.
The rationale is that you can take your entire photo catalogue with you and you can work on the photo's from a laptop (if you were not at home/office) and a desktop (not simultaneously obviously).
As always there is another drive, external or internal to wich backups are made each day so you have a mirror image of everything on the first disc incase it fails. I really like the idea of this and can see how I could use it more and more.
I just wonder if there is a substantial slow down in writing to the external drive via eSATA doubt it though.
