my aperture library is 300 g and works slow
Hi guys,
I just merged my photo libraries and would like to work with Aperture and iPhoto, BUT it is on an external hard drive (USB 2 ports or firewire, both are really slow with such a library). The rest of the hardware is not older than 2010 and there is 8G RAM (not really in fact but I don't think it is as a big factor since the processor is really at ease for other tasks in the meanwhile while Aperture is struggling and the hard-drive seems to be working hard).
Is there some way to work with such a large library without the slowness, or I should just go to thunderbolt ?
Best regards,
