Hi Michael,
Thanks for responding. So a spinning HD is not required for recording but is
cheaper. Cost is the only factor. Right?

Hi Andray a hard drive is very necessary to record your material.
If you are using S/onar it is best that you use the second drive to stream and
record all your music data.
Of course an internal second drive is alway the best, but in situation where
you are using a laptop, then you really have no choice unless you configure
your lap top to have to drives installed.
If that’s not the case then a external USB is fine for streaming, but you
should go with a USB 3 type drive.
Now a days SSD drives are becoming more and more common which means the drive
has not moto which means the drive can really work at a fast rate, but SSD
drives can be expensive, however I’ve seen them as low as $200.00 for a 500GB
which means that the moterized drives might be a thing of the past in the not
to distant future. For the moment a motorized drive running at 72000 RPM is
what you should go for and you can get a 3 terabyte drive for as low as $180.00.
CGate, and or Western Digital are two good brand of hard drives.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.

Hi Guys,
Is a hard-drive essential for recording? Is an external HD for back up only?
