Can we use the ship computer to transfer data on an external hard drive ?!?

It has been my experience that the computers in the internet café have the USB ports locked down to prevent unauthorized programs from being loaded and viruses. I'm not sure about the Macs in use by RCL these days but with the increase in Mac-specific trojan viruses and malware, I would be surprised if they would allow it. The IT folks on the ships seem to be pretty savvy and are unlikely to buy into the "Macs are virus-proof".

I just take a old 13 inch laptop it was an early USB3 adopter but today is cheap. Fastest is with a CF or SD adapter that USB3 compatible. I can transfer at about 100-200MB sec then transfer it again to a fast USB3 flash drive. That transfer is around 220-250MB sec.

 

 

USB2 is two slow IMHO. The two was a play on word not a misspelling.

Can we use the ship computer to tranfer data ( photos and videos ) from SD Card to an external USB hard drive ?!?

 

Thanks!!

 

Generally there are no USB ports accessible, and the ones that are are disabled.
