When your hard drive is connected AND turned on, its just another hard drive. 
The computer doesn't really care if its an internal or external. It's a hard 
drive and the computer assigns it a drive letter. So, yea, you can turn it on 
whenever you're going to download. Will save you the extra step of transferring 
later.

However, if you value the files so much that you can't afford to lose them, you 
should have multiple copies. A copy on the internal and a copy on the external 
is a good backup method. Of course, this won't help much if there's a fire at 
your location, but you know what I mean!

Hi Jo Ann,

The External is connected to my computer, but I only turn it on when I 
want to back up my files.  I guess I could turn it on when I am 
downloading and just put the designs on the External as well as my 
computer.  I'm just learning to use it, so I'm not really sure what I'm 
doing.  Thanks for your help.
Rita
