azatoth Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 good for backups, if your main HDD dies. easy to transport if needed at gigs or someshit. extra storage always comes in handy.

posture Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 what he said basically, I always think if there is ever a fire I need to grab my external so I still have my tracks lol, or my laptop but I mostly thought this before I had a laptop.

Guest acridavid Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 samples and work. i'd keep software on the internal drive. that way it reads samples quicker, in theory. if you keep the drive clean.
