<div class="moz-cite-prefix">No. the HDD is in the DVD Bay,
connected to the SATAIII bus. It has the same bus as the SSD. The
older Intel-Macs (Jobs-Era) only have USB2, so USB2 attached
Drives are a pain in the A. I now use a BlueRay-DVD over the USB2,
in the rather few times I need it these days.<br>
<br>
I keep Data separate from OS for obvious reasons, and removed the
less needed DVD.<br>
<br>
The only possible issue can perhaps be that the Data on the HDD is
soft linked in the /Users/User-Name/Pictures directory to standard
the "Pictures" directory of the OSX system. It has worked very
well without any issues with all OSX 8-10 versions till now.<br>
<br>
I heard that sqlite is rather lite-wheight in speed. Anyone tried
a MySQL set-up locally on a MBP? Any experiences in the group will
be a great help? I will try a local OSX MySQL server on my Laptop
first, then migrate it later to a self hosted Server.<br>

It can take a while but i suspect that data HDD is USB one.
right ?

<div>If yes, it a really slow solution. The best : USB3 minimum
+ SSD, not HDD.</div>

<div>Here, i use 1Tb SSD to howst all my collection (250Gb) and

I started an install in a new User account. It has been
running now for about 6 hours with the "Scanning
collections ....". I've about 200GB of photos. How long
should a new installation (fresh collection) take with
default options in the installation? <br>

<div bgcolor="#FFFF99" text="#000000"> Hi all,<br>
<br>
I'm a newbie on this list.<br>
<br>
I installed a new version of digikam (was
4.1.0, now 5.1.0) on my OSX OS.<br>
Starting for the first time, a pop-up
message came which said "Scanning
collections, please wait ..." and then
"Preparing collection scan ...", where it
hangs indefinitely.<br>
<br>
Sometimes it just crashes at start-up.<br>
<br>
Is there a problem with digikam 5.1.0 and
OSX 10.11.6?<br>
<br>
