When working with larger data files, performance will be better if you copy the data from the fileserver rather than just connecting to it.

 

You can access the read-only ClarkData space from most networked computers on campus, for example Clark lab computers, SITES computers, CAEN computers, faculty and staff computers, etc.. If you are on wireless or are off campus, you can do this only if you are using the VPN , although some UM-provided computing configuations on laptops will handle this for you without explicitly using the VPN.

 

Step by step instructions for connecting to ClarkData are available at this "Connecting to the ClarkData fileserver" document, which requires UM affiliation to be viewed.
