direct from SD drive to auxillary drive

Is there a way using a CP to download a complete SD drive to an auxillary drive (external HD, USB, CD, DVD) without first transferring them to the computer's storage?
Afterward you would have a copy only on the external drive from which to gather it for manipulation
Thanks
Nick

    If I understand your question, you want to transfer your files from an SD card ( from your camera, say ) onto an external hard drive.

    Connect an external USB 2.0 SD card reader to your computer, as well as a USB 2.0 portable hard drive, and drag the files from the SD card to the external drive.

    If you use Lightroom 2.0, it will even do it for your when you import files from the SD card. You will have to configure your Import preferences to reference the external drive.
