Q: I would like to transfer many pictures from my pc remote hard drive to my new mac remote hard drive without them clogging up and maybe crashing my computer.  Can this be done?   I have over a TB  and my mac remote hard drive is 4TB

Does anyone know how to transfer about 1 TB of pictures from my old pc remote hard drive to my new 4 TB remote harddrive on my Mac.  I would like them to go directly from remote hard drive to remote hard drive without them clogging up my computer.

Thanks

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

    Connect both drives to the Mac and drag from the old to the new.

     

    I have no idea if it will "clog" up your Mac. It will likely take quite a while (6 + hours on USB 2.0).

    You might want to break it up in batches, or run it overnight.
