How much disk space should be reserved for the library in MC19 for say 2000 CDs, 5000 JPEG files, and 200 videos? I am talking about the library not the space for the media files.

I am thinking of an SSD for the OS and for th MC library etc with my media files on another disk.

You can see it doesn't need much space. Note the amount of files in the library!

I would guess about 600 MB including library (< 10 MB), thumbnails (400 MB), and optional artist artwork (200 MB), but not including backups (about 3 MB per backup).

RESPECT!

OMG and I thought my 6000 cds was a reasonably large library! Impressive.

But don't backup to the same drive where your Library is - if that drive fails you lose everything.

Unless you regularly copy the library and it's backups to an external drive to protect against hardware failure.
