using Seagate Expansion Portable STEA1000400 External Hard Drive 1TB for Kontakt orchestral use ?

so in short :
external 1TB HDD , OR, external 512GB SSD ( 2x price ) (or none)? for Kontakt library usage. + initial load time doesn't matter to me. + for orchestration usage + expecting no Tick or cutoff.


Hi.
as the title suggests, I wonder if using ``Seagate Expansion Portable STEA1000400 External Hard Drive 1TB`` will be a sane option for Kontakt libraries...

OR

a 512 GB external SSD that's **2** times more expensive.


my notes :
- I do not care about the init load time. be it 20 seconds or 30 won't matter to me
- the most important thing to me is to not have much latency or Tick when playing like 10 notes of a Albion One Long String at the same time ( by *much* i mean less than 100 milliseconds or so ... or whatever that is normal )
- I'm on budget , so I can't buy more expensive models
- I'm on a 3rd world country. some products are better than what the model I'm asking about on Amazon, but they're not available here. as I've investigated, the 2 models I wrote are the best external HDD and SSD on my budget
- the HDD is 1/48th of a normal person's salary in here. so SSD is 1/24th. you can convert it to your currency for better resulting

please help me out , I'm not good at specs.


my usage is generally orchestral... so i'll probabely need like 7 VST, each playing around 5 notes at the same time, making it ~35 notes at the same time. my usual VST's RAM usage is ~200MB ( because I unload any unnecessary patches and mic positions from any VST I'm playing on ), making it ~1.4GB of RAM usage for main VSTs. ( I have 8GB and Cubase is usually taking ~2.5GB of RAM in an orchestration )


here's as much info as I could provide, hoping to get better responses


thanks in Advance!

Depends a little bit on connection, such as usb 3 10gb, usb 5gb. With faster connection hdd should work fine. Slower one ssd. Internal hdd better than external. Also format external drive to match your os and do not use exfat.
