    My suggestion thing:

    Plug in your external
    Open traktor
    Select your external in the browser

    I have never used my internal HD to store music files.

    I have allways used external drives. (plus I carry a back up)

    Now ............ two 128 gb usb sticks (one as back up)
    The lappy has a SSD this is just for the O.S and progs.

    just point traktor to the folder on your extertnal. seriously though, i would not recommend using an external. the amoint of times they screw up is crazy.

    You will get a bit of lag between hitting the load button and it actually loading up, but that is to be expected......unless my ex-hd is just a POS

    Do you need to set the hot cue one by one on your back up also or not? What do i need to copy?
