Hi All,
Nothing eats up hard-drive space more than sample libraries and I’m about to run out! I’m using a laptop and there’s no space to fit an additional drive in it either.
So I’m looking at moving a lot of my libraries and future ones too (mainly PianoBook and NI Komplete 12), to an external hard-drive.
I’m not too worried about portability, as it’ll be in the home studio all of the time, so I’m looking at:
• USB 3.x for speed
• 3.5 inch HHD as i’m not worried about the physical size and this is a better TB/££ ratio than the 2.5 inch ones.
• Looking at 5TB plus. Storage size is key here! This laptop has an SSD 256 GB drive and it’s close to full! So I’ll compromise speed to get greater storage capacity.
It’s a minefield looking out there, wondering if anyone has any recommendations or any to avoid at all costs!
Can’t wait to just get back to playing sample libraries rather than juggling them to fit into what little space is left on this laptop!
Thanks very much for all advice and feedback, much appreciated.
Cheers,
Andy.
