Why not!]]> Just done this and it seems to work pretty well so far, apart from OSX's annoying habit of littering external drives with .files everywhere. One Pig installation to rule them all!

Why not!]]> No major problems with mine so far, the coolest thing is I have a one touch backup button for flash drives on my NAS, so its mega easy to backup the sucker up.

Why not!]]> Right, finally got round to ordering a micro usb drive thing (32GB) so I can have a go at doing this with my Mac and my Caanoo. I rather like the idea of keeping one sample library and just plugging into either my Mac or my portable depending on what I want to track with. Will report back...

Why not!]]> Oh for sure, just wanted to explain my methods cause it could seem overthought at first glance. I think another thing to consider is disk i/o, i think my usb stick is a lilll faster than even my fastest sd card.. helps when rendering on desktop platforms.

Why not!]]> Yea but im trying to avoid adapters and cables in my life. Also microsds are more expensive, and there seems to be a high failure rate on rasp pi sd slots, so Im just cutting all those guys out of my equations.

Why not!]]> Well, micro sd usually don't break, just the adapters. but if you wanted to get real crazy, you could probably just stick everything on the SD then stick that in the dingoo and hook up the dingoo to the other devices and it'll show up as a usb drive....

-sd cards fall apart quickly when you are pulling them out and putting them in something multiple times a week
- a usb stick doesnt require any reader or cables to hook up to device
-look how small it is!

Also im loading a backup of the pi image on the usb stick as well as a copy of audacity and reaper to handle renders.
