| | Importing/Copying Files from an External Drive What's the fastest way to transfer/import files from an external device into my local drive. It would be nice if there was a program out there that would list all of the files found in the external device by category. (ie. Pics, movies, docs) Please help, Thanks |

Either drag and drop or copy and paste works fine. Neither is faster than the other.
