- This is the best way for music producers to move Logic Pro X sound libraries from your main solid state hard drive to an external hard drive. Every music pro.
- Older Mac Pro towers have previous generation ports like USB 2.0, and the internal hard drive bays use SATA II connections. Neither take full advantage of the speed offered by SSDs. A way around this is to install an expansion card into a PCI-e slot (x2 or larger).
How To Install Logic Pro X On External Hard Drive Doesn T Show Up
Hoping everyone is safe and sound these days.
I have a 2016 MacBook Pro with two Thunderbolt 3 inputs, 250 gigs of storage.
I recently bought Logic Pro X and have been mainly recording rock songs with guitars, bass, vocals, and drum loops. I couldn't pass up an IK Multimedia campaign and now have tons of sample libraries and have been reading that I should be using an external hard drive.
I've read I should put all my projects and 3rd party sound libraries on the external drive and keep software and all Logic's stuff on the Mac. I think my problem is the two inputs. If I have my interface and an external drive, I need that external drive to charge while it's receiving the recordings and loading samples to and from the Mac.
Anyway, I've only found one that says it charges while in use:

Having gotten this far, Western Audio says the drive will charge compatible laptops. I don't know if mine is. I also don't know if it can charge and do music at the same time. Will this drive work for me? My head hurts.
I've been at this for a couple of days and haven't found much information about this specific situation. I found a thread from 2014 that was sort of related, but that was 2014.
Anyway, sorry for the longwinded post. Anyone have a similar setup with something that works? When I go into my 'studio', I just want to plug the Mac in, hook up the interface and external drive and get to work. Is that possible?
Thanks.
