Speed/Performance when using external hard drive?
Hi all. I run a small motion graphics team. We’ve been working on some VR projects in 8K over the last month and are running out of space on our interal hard drives (Currently, we use Dropbox for storage) .
My question is this: If we switched our dropbox to an external (let’s say a really fast SSD? Not sure which type would be fastest) with all of our project files and assets and renders, will we see any speed loss in C4D? i.e. Will renders or simulations or viewport performance be slower vs working on an internal drive? Is the same true with Redshift, Octane, AE, Premiere, etc?
Also, Do any of you have specific hard drives, set-ups, or other solutions that you’d recommend?
Thanks for your help!

Hi Ryan,
internal hard drives are typically faster and more reliable than external hard drives, but they can be more expensive. External hard drives offer portability and convenience but may not be as fast or reliable. Ultimately, the best hard drive for you will depend on your needs and budget. I just watched this video that recently posted on the forum, I think it will be useful to you.
