using an external ssd
Posted: Wed Sep 28, 2022 6:02 pm
Hi there
I have the 9 suite installed on a 2013 mbp running High Sierra with 8 gig RAM and a 500 gig internal SSD. I also have the Izotope production suite and Arturia's V collection of symths.
I am running out of room and now only have a bout 20 gig left.
I liooked into upgrading the internal SSD on the mbp to 1 or 2 TB but for a 2013 model it's prohibitably expensive: £300 for a 2 TB SSD.
I have now found an external SSD which is 525 gig which I'm planning on using instead.
Is it a good ideat to have the macos, Live 9, the V collection and Izotope stuff installed on the 500 gig internal SD? this will use around 100 gig I think. Is it sensible to then store project files (lots of renders and collect all and save stuff) onto the 525 gig external SSD? Where should I put samples that I use in my projects? On the internal?
Do I then use collect all and save the projects to the external? Provided I do thiis correctly, will these projects then locate the samples which are on the internal SSD? Is this a sensible way of doing things? I like the idea of having all the project files on an external as then I can buy another external when I fill this one?
Should the samples also be on the external?
Many thanks in advance.
