Hello

I have a 3 carmera shoot tomorrow and I have to minimize my offloading time.

Can I copy the contents from the P2 card and paste them to FIRST hard drive then (while that is copying) can I go back to P2 card select the contents and then paste the same files again to SECOND drive?

Can all this be done simultaneously?

Simple question but I rather ask know then figure out in the field.

thanks,
Cristina
 
I'd do it to one drive at a time- like a nice RAID drive with redundancy. Trying to span to a second distinct drive will make transfers take forever + 1 day.

If you are on a Mac, you could set your two drives up as mirrored RAID drives in the Disk Utility app, and this might allow the P2 Card to be copied simultaneously to both drives. I haven't tried copying P2 cards this way, but I have set up RAID 1 arrays in Disk Utility without any problems. I haven't tried this on a PC.
