hi there guys!
been absent here for awhile due to change in career, recently gained some extra time from work and would like to go back into the whole djing for fun timez (nothing serious - one gig a week at most)
Situation: Retina macbook pro 13 inch, work laptop with 500GB SSD, i try to keep my laptop as clean as possible as i use it for my work mainly (in fact the office paid for it - hehe)
at home i jam with my iMac which is permanently hooked up to my home rig (Traktor S2 MK2), when i play out i use my rMBP with X1 + Audio6 + timecode (Both USB PORTS used up!) - i like to use an external device to store my library so i can jump between both with ease (possible?)
So between these options, what do you guys find the best for stability?
1) SDCARD (256GB) - enough for my entire library - but i question the stability and speed even on the highest spec sd cards? anyone has experience permanently using these to store their dj library?
2) Thunderbolt External HD (1TB - 2TB) - way more expensive and doesnt use any usb port , the thing is im kinda scared of having the thunderbolt as I have no experience with its stability or the tb jack / cable sliding off? i heard the TB ports are a bit more loose?
3) External HDD (USB 3.0) with powered usb hub, this one i dont like so much because having to cary a powered usb hub on top of the external hdd is a bit of a drag (heh)
Let's discuss! Would love to hear your opinion
also anyone using an external hd to store their ENTIRE traktor collection? how do you guys manage it so its "plug and play" as in you can plug between your home desktop imac and your gig laptop and keep all the library and playlists intact?
