Quote:JoJo, if you are worried about photos being corrupted during copying, you could use something like Git to manage the files. This creates hashes of the repository, so will spot issues.
No, photos are comparatively small. It were some movies I ripped from my own DVDs and copied to another HD - using a double bay which was supposed to do 1:1 copies from source to target. It was an experiment, I was already suspecting that process would not work so well as Mac OS is pretty picky in terms of disk structures.
But then: Using a separate app to be sure you have a copy? Is that what we want, we need? Not for me - I expect an OS to be able to manage these processes. Mac OS is, the firmware of that bay is not - lesson learnt. I wanted to save some bandwidth and processor time during one day of copying.
