Hello!
I just got a Mac mini for music production. I have been told that is it is better to have two external hard drives (one for my sound/sample libraries and the other for my project/session files) instead of one drive to hold both.
My question is this:
For external SSD storage, is it better to go (generally speaking) with two external hard drives (like the Samsung T7 Shield) or one of those hubs that has two slots for PCIe style storage)? Is it just all about the speed of either kind of drive? Any help and insights would be greatly appreciated.
Also, if there are any musicians out there, do you think I really need to separate out my sound libraries from my session files? My sample libraries are very large and my session files will potentially be very large as well. I'm wondering if I should try to just do everything from one external hard drive.
Thank you so much in advance for your help and time!
