the more confidant i am that I’ve packed every possible thing i could ever want in any logical scenario and several highly illogical ones…the more i know im missing multiple essentials…
UPDATE: looks like im going no where today cuz i started too late in transferring 6 terabytes to mobile hard drives for the trip. its been transferring for 12 hours and its still not even 25% done.
I am using Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the drives and it looks like I have 77 hours left to go…
It doesn’t estimate remaining time but it’s been loading for 11 hours so far and the progress is the width of my thumb and the remaining room in the bar is 7 thumb widths long. So I’m going to leave tomorrow because I didn’t figure this out until it was too late for todays flight and then i’m just going to have to have someone here come turn off my computer, unplug the hard drives and mail them to me. ug…
DEAR SANTA*: buy me a thunderbolt hard drive block please.

*You reading this, are Santa.
I’m loading this crap on stone age era Usb 2.0 hard drives where as this would take 7 seconds instead of 77 hours if I were transferring through thunderbolt:
Thunderbolt I/O technology gives you two channels on the same connector with 10 Gbps of throughput in both directions. That makes Thunderbolt ultrafast and ultraflexible. You can move data to and from peripherals up to 20 times faster than with USB 2.0 and up to 12 times faster than with FireWire 800. You also have more than enough bandwidth to daisy-chain multiple high-speed devices without using a hub or switch. For example, you can connect several high-performance external disks, a video capture device, and even a display to a single Thunderbolt chain while maintaining maximum throughput.
So i’m going no where today cuz my computer is “retarded”. <- Quotes because that word has turned into an exclusive use for the disabled and then turned to exclusively being used as a negative to the non-disabled (like how “lame” is only used as negative slang and not actually in reference to lame/disable human beings anymore). Does anyone even know anymore that to “retard” [verb] means to slow something and that non-handicapped non-human things can also be “retarded”? prolly not. The More You Know. I’m supposed to be on a plane right now…
UPDATE: 19 hours into the big copy and a hump was overcame. It will not take 77 hours after all and instead will be done before I go to sleep tonight. Well, the larger drive will, anyway. The 3tb drive using Carbon Copy is the one humming along nicely. The 2nd drive (since you can only run one instance of Carbon Copy at a time) was using Super Duper cloner and it failed so i’m now copying the data the old fashioned way – with a drag and drop.
