    Default What size external hd for your music?

    When you guys are doing gigs, how many gigs is your hd? Do you think 1 tb is good or 2tb (maybe overkill)? Thanks

    i would never do a gig with all my music on an external. too many things could go wrong.

    i have 750gb internal in my optibay and all my tunes are on there....

    You make a good point. Maybe I will just use my 500 gb external one for gigs. I just bought a 1 tb one. I guess I'll just use that for my home backup. Thanks

    Unless your gigs are several days long keep it internal.

    but keep a backup on an external, or only your main tunes on large usb sticks in your gig bag for redundancy in case of emergency.
