Mac mini M1 - Transferring Programmes to external Thunderbolt 3 1 TB SSD drive
Hello everyone!
My computer is a Mac M1 8GB with a 250GB hard disc.
Before I get to my questions, I'm using Logic Pro X and Final Cut Pro, however, my regular 250GB hard
drive is almost full.
Situation - Due to a lack of space on my hard drive, I was unable to download all of the current music
production software (Logic Pro library sounds) from the Apple website. So, to help with this, I've acquired a TEKQ Thunderbolt 3, 1TB SSD.
According to the instructions, it works on all platforms and is exFAT compatible, therefore there is no
need to format. However, I'm not sure what the following steps are.
My question is if, now that I have a Thunderbolt 3 1TB drive and my Logic Pro software is on the interna250GB disc, I can save the sound library that I couldn't fit on the internal drive to the external 1TB TEKQThunderbolt drive without any issues. Or would it be better if I could transfer my main programs, Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro, along with all their associated files, to this disc to make things easier and more straightforward? If that's the case, how and what would be the best method to go about it?
What process/procedure in steps would I need to follow in order to accomplish this? I'm currently leaning towards the latter option, many thanks.
Regards
