E.T., One more question I had forgotten to ask.  Is your external drive 
attached to your network or a single computer on your network?   If the former, 
is it connected to a router?  I have a Negear router with two usb ports but 
I’ve never been able to use a usb drive attached to this netgear r8000 
reliably.  It sucks.

Hi E.T,
How do you back up such a big library?  To a cloud service?  Is yours a usb 
western digital disk?

   I use an external drive made by Western Digital (WD). The model I have is 
not SSD but if I need to replace it, will look for SSD.

   A new Mac with a large internal drive is certainly an option but a budget 
killer. My library on an external drive is about 1.5 TB (music, TV shows and 
movies), I do not notice any lag time on my Apple TV. And no chance of losing 
it because I do weekly backups.

Hi,
My Music/itunes library’s growing & growing.  I’d like to pick your brains as 
to how to deal with it.  Do I go an external drive way, or a very big SSD drive on 
a new mac?  I’m concerned that should I relocate my library onto an external drive 
and it then develops a problem, I might lose everything?  Also, does having a large 
library on an external drive slow down the playback/quality?  And if external 
drive’s a solution, what drive?  Pls be as generous in your opinions as this list 
allows or else email offline.
thanks
Simon
