Hello everyone,
Long time since my last post!
I'm considering one of the new M1 computers to replace my now close to 4yo MBP by the end of the year, just to make sure all the software I use, plugins, etc. are fully compatible with the new chips, and also wait to see what else comes out of Apple before the end of 2021.
All three (MBP, iMac, Mac Mini) are an option for me, but I can't decide what I should do regarding disk space. Do I invest in larger internal SSDs, or do I get the cheapest model available and invest in a fast external SSD? I know that this was a big thing, having at least the sample libraries stored in an external drive, I mean, in order to not interfere with the internal drive running the OS and Logic, but is that still true with SSD drives? Would I be ok running a 1TB M1 Mac with everything in its internal drive? Or do I still gain a lot by having the libraries and/or the recording folder as an external drive?
Either way, please do share your opinion and experience and, if possible, and if that's the case, any suggestions about hardware (SSD drives, docks, etc.) are most welcome.
Thank you so much!
All the best,
Rui
