What are the pros and cons of using an external drive for media with MC?
It's time to upgrade my computer (My 3G i5 Cpu is not supported by Windows 11 for some reason and Windows 10 will be desupported in the fall) and I'm trying to decide whether to get a 2TB SSD drive or just a 512G SSD for the OS supplemented by a 2TB drive for my audio files.
I've got almost 300G of audio and to sync it with my android player I use a "staging" folder to do the transfer from MC, then Resilio sync to move the files to the player. This means I need twice the amount of storage or 600G now. My android player has 1Tb capacity so I'd like to have at least 2TB of storage.
An external drive is less expensive and will be easier to upgrade if my storage needs increase, so I'm leaning toward that. Wondering about the downsides, if any.
