EXTERNAL DISK TOO SLOW
Hello
So I've copied all my Logic Pro files over to an external WD My Passport external HD and my software over to a different WD My passport external HD. Both are 2TB and have at least 1.5TB free space. I am running an oldish IMAC 2012 but have 32GB memory. Having done this last week to try and speed up and avoid crashes I am constantly getting disk too slow/ system error and now "the hard drive was ejected incorrectly' error. I have backed up all my files but I'm concerned Im going to lose a hard drive and am no ICT expert. Both are attached to the MAC via a USB port as I don't have enough inputs. I don't think my projects are too heavy (maybe wrong) and am just seeking some advice as I can no longer record, listen to or bounce down any projects and have two releases on their way. I use Clean My Mac, keep everything up to date and have no 'clutter' so not sure how to proceed.
Should I drag the project I am working on back to the desktop while working on it?
Should the Logic Pro Files be on the same HD as the software?
I've screen shotted a typical project with plug ins as maybe I am running some heavy ones. If so, again any suggestions on lightening the load. Thank you
