Keeping pics and music on external HD
So, I recently upgraded from Win Vista to Win7 and LOVE IT!! Got lots of help from these forums during the course of the upgrade, THANKS!! Oh, I did a Clean Install.
Now I have another question, about my music and photo files.
Before upgrading, I put all of my photos, about 75 gigs and constantly growing, and all of my pictures, about 7 gigs, into Master Pics and Master Music files, on my external HD. External HD is a 300 gig drive, USB 2.0 capable. My internal HD is a 150 gig.
So, after doing the Clean install of Win 7, and starting to reinstall some programs, I thought, "why not save some HD space." I left the music and photos on the external HD. I've set Media Player and Shareaza to get music from, and save music to, the Master Music folder. I've set Adobe Photoshop to the Master Picture folder. In doing this, I've saved about 82 gigs of space on my internal HD. I would think this would help my computer run faster??
So my question is...
Was this the route to take? Does it even matter? Any suggestions or advice??
