So for stuff like the SDX, the one that I listed (I’m assuming the second one) you’re saying it’s bad for stuff like SDX, or quick access reading stuff? But if I wanted it for things like, holding my Full projects for my albums or work I do with clients, wouldn’t it be better on something like that? Or would I still be better off not going with something like that?

It’s a seagate 1TB portable hard drive. It connects via USB into my laptop (I’m not sure what generation) but I’ve linked it below.

Ideally I will be getting something bigger, but I’m currently studying at university so both money and storage are low. My dad bought me the hard drive but I’m sure I’m gonna have to get some more at some point. I’m currently spending my paychescks on building my home studio, and I will hopefully be upgrading to a more powerful computer, since at the moment I’m on a 2020 MacBook Pro that struggles on both storage, power and memory. And at that point I will hopefully be getting an external drive like this – https://www.seagate.com/gb/en/products/creative-pro/lacie-d2/ which will be 4TB at the least that I can leave permanently with my computer. I appreciate my dads help in getting me the hard drive, but he did, and still does doubt just how big music stuff is, both the size of the external plugins I use and also just projects in general. But it’s what I got at the moment and I’ll find a way to make it work. I’ve got one TB more than I would have and that’s a win in my eyes 😀

It’s a 1TB External Harddrive. Theres nothing wrong with it, it’s just that it has came formatted as NTFS, so my Mac can read off of it, but can’t write onto it. So I’ve just gotta get it reformatted to APFS so that my Mac IS able to write onto it. Should be a simple job, but I am an idiot so I’m gonna wait for my dad (Super smart computer person) to be around so that if I screw it up someway theres someone around to help me fix it.
