**Advice on External Storage**

Hi All,

I have about 90 gb of Music sitting on my computers internal hard drive. I am soon going to be upgrading to a Solid State Drive, but to free up space right now and in the future, I am going to move most of my music/video/image files to external storage.

I am debating between using USB Flash Drives, or an External Hard Drive - or both. While looking around and reading reviews, I’m trying to get a sense of who the most reliable companies are, who the low end companies are, etc.

- I’m also thinking of the idea of having a USB Flash Drive to plug into my computer and play off of in Traktor, is this possible? I’m thinking it would keep me more organized - as right now all my files are a mess.

Thoughts…

Use your existing internal hard drive with an external drive enclosure.
