I am going to be buying a 250 GB western digital external hard drive that uses usb to connect to my desktop computer. The sole purpose of this external drive will be to store a music library conssiting of Mp3 files and or the type of files that itunes creates. The specs for the drive state that it has 2 MB of cache.
I am a little unclear on teh function of Cahce in general but even more unclear on how it would come into play when listening to music files.
I intent to have my entire library stored on the external drive and set itunes to access music directly from the drive.
Is 2mb of cache ok for this type of application?
I just don't want songs to skip or lag or experience any other listening interuptions.
Thanks
Andrew
BTW, if my songs are on the external hard drive, and I drag songs from the itunes library onto my ipod, will this work ok?
