running live library off usb flash drive

Post by seachange » Fri Jan 08, 2010 10:39 pm

Hi,
I've seen the thread where people have successfully run their live sets from their usb flash drives.

My hard drive is full and I am considering buying a 64gb flash drive and putting my live library on that. I have a laptop and while I could run the library off an external drive I find I tend to pull them off the table when I lean back and move the laptop to my lap. The drives have survived so far but it can't be good for them.

Has anyone tried this? I tend to run smallish live sessions with 3-5 virtual instruments and 5-6 channels of stereo audio.

I am thinking of these:

any comments would be appreciated!
