Partition laptop hard drive or use external HD
Ive always used an external HD for all my music, itunes library, etc for djing. I just ordered another Macbook Pro... my friend suggested I partition the new laptop and just keep all the music on there. I use a 300 gig HD and have about 60 gigs left on it (but thats without some overdue spring cleaning)... Would you continue to use the external and leave the 500 gig laptops space alone or would you allocate 300-350 gigs for music on a partition and use the other 150 gigs for apps and production tools.
Right now I have an external for music, another external for production (Ableton, Logic, etc) and sample cds. Tiresome sometimes to always have to be plugged in in order to get some music work done...
choose the first method to finish the operation
I think you can partition your hard drive.
This is the best choice and most efficient way. You will find that is more comfortable than external hard drive.
