external usb2.0 drive or put samples on 2nd drive?

[keithl]

Since my samples have got to the point where they are just to big...should I

a) get an external USB 2.0 Hard drive (or is firewire better?)
b) my pc has 2 drives (1 OS, 1 PT sessions). Should I just get a bigger drive for my sessions and store the samples there?

Not sure which one would be better for performance.

Thanks in advance!

Get a approved FW drive for your samples, You may need to use it as a Audio drive in a pinch and USB drives are not approved and often problematic. you are best off having the OS, your samples and the Audio files all on separate drives
