Laptop drives are up to 500Gb now for about £90, so space shouldn't be an issue.leedsquietman wrote:but if you're on lappy and space is tight something to think about.

It's an issue if you are using an older laptop. My current HDD is 60 GB and runs at 7200 rpm. It uses a different protocol. I think the biggest I can get is a 100GB 7200 rpm drive.
My laptop is 4.5 yrs old and I cannot afford to replace it - it still works great and still kicks a lot of more modern lappies to the kerb, because it is based on a desktop P4 3.2 Ghz chip with 2GB ram on XP SP3 - so as long as I have it plugged into the mains (battery life is about 15-50 mins tops depending on use) and keep it well vented as I do, it is fine. Definately not one for the Starbuck macbook brigade, this beast ways nearly 14 lb with the extended battery which I have. But I love it.
I also run a Maxtor 300GB USB 2.0 external drive for recording audio and audio samples, which I've already put 200 GB of recorded audio on (and no sample libraries or stuff like Session Drums or Kontakt 3 libraries etc). Just plain old guitars, bass, vocals and miced instruments with a few loops and one shot sounds.

I'm trying to figure out if EIC 2 and Session Drums are worth the extra €70.
