I'm looking to buy a new laptop -- it's main task (besides helping me write a textbook) will be to transfer my CDs to MP3s, but I may want to try it "live" at home, just for practice, using PCDJ Red. After I transfer most of my music, I'll probably purchase a new laptop for dedicated live performance, but that's not for another 2-3 years.
If I were to get a small internal HDD (say 20GB), but then attach a large external HDD (say a 300GB USB2 7200), would this be sufficient? Would PCDJ run properly if it were reading the music off an external? I assume it loads it into memory prior to playback anyway? Oh, and is there any preference between a USB2 or Firewire drive?
Thanks for your help!

I use OSDJ it is a fantastic program.I started out with a 300 gig maxtor external harddrive and had to buy a 1.5 tearabyte firewire because of all the music we haveIf you buy this harddrive you will have (3) 500 gig harddrives into one. Before you invest decide how many songs you are going to use. A 1.5 terabyte can hold around 200,000 songs.
You can load music faster with a firewire harddrive vs usb hardrive.
