I have a local instance of Galaxy running on my workstation.

I have external hard drives full of fastq sequencing files.

I want to make them available to myself as data libraries.  I am the Admin and sole user at this point.

The “upload” data libraries seems to pass the data through the (slow) network, even though my workstation and external hard drives are linked by USB.

What is the fastest way to import my files into my galaxy instance? Can I copy them into some folder on the workstation’s hard drive?

Since everything is physically connected, I don’t think I should be limited by my network speed.

Thanks,

Greg Thyssen
