If recording to your internal SSD works for you (space etc.) then go for it. That will be more reliable than any external drive with risk of connection errors and finger problems. There was *never* a requirement to record to an *external* drive, in the ancient days of slow HDD there was a requirement to record to a separate dedicated HDD, which could have been internal or external.

Hopefully you have a modern M.2 NVMe internal SSD, just because they are stinking fast, and not much more $$$ than a slower SATA SSD.

Now how many external/removable SSDs or HDD do you have to back up sessions to... ?
Thank you!

No, I think SSDs are the best way to go.

I ask because as some on here might remember I'm more familiar with video systems e.g. Avid's Media Composer, and one thing we do NOT do is save video files on the C drive as there isn't enough bandwith to go round with video. I wanted to understand if there were similar limitations/traps on the audio side, but it seems fine.
