<div dir="ltr">Tabish,<div><br></div><div>This is not a problem with NCL, as many dozens of users use NCL with external hard drives every day. I'd suggest checking your hard drive for either an imminent failure or to see if there are aggressive sleep settings that might be overcompensating here - Google should be helpful. I'd suggest working with data on something mounted via a faster connection that USB (which I presume you are using) as this just takes longer to read - the internal hard drives will always give you the best performance. Good luck...</div>

I generally store my netcdf data on my external hard drive and NCL is installed in my home directory of my laptop. I want to do a subsetting operation over the data sitting in the external HDD. However, NCL halts before completing the task. This does not happen when I do the same operation on the supercluster. I have not tested it on data sitting in my internal HDD of laptop too.</div>
