Hey folks.
Are USB external hard drives up to the task of recording? I use Reaper with a Delta 1010. To this point, I've just been recording (2-3 simultaneous tracks) to the same hard drive as my operating system and it's worked fine. But hopefully in the next few weeks I'll be doing a lot more recording, and may use up to 8 tracks simultaneously. I think the obvious answer is to add an additional internal hard drive, but are USB external drives up to the job for my purposes?
They're cheap and I don't have firewire. I hope to upgrade in a year or so, so I'd prefer from investing in another internal drive until then.
thanks!
