Requirements on Externall HDs for audio/samples/Libs

[June Moris]

Hi,


I have a few questions in regards to using external HD's.


I use an Xternal Glyph for audio recording. I bought a second one.
Is it best to not make partitions or would it be a good idea to make partitions?



I bought NI Komplete 12ultimate. While usually Installing software on the main internal HD this is out of the question w Komplete.

I'm reluctant to use expensive Glyph drives for sample libraries and the install of Komplete.


What HD's are good/best to use and are affordable?

What HD's in general are reliable enough for data backup storage? I had a extarnal Lacie fail on me w loss of all data.


Thank you
