I currently keep all my material on an external drive but it's not always practical to use it, it kinda gets in the way. Anyway i use it more for backing up(and it's getting pretty full!)
I plan to go out and do some field recording with the laptop and a usb mic so it would be ideal to record straight onto the internal drive.
i've only been using 5-6gb of a 60gb harddrive just to save cpu juice for vst's
