External hard drive with Logic Pro

[moonbass]

Dear All Clever Recording Types,
I've bought a WD MyBook Studio to use for audio files for use in Logic Pro on my iMac.
I have been using my internal hard drive until now for recording and would like to transfer over this material to the external drive, and then in future record directly onto the external drive (I think?!)
If anyone has done anything similar and has advice how to do it with least trauma I would be very grateful.
In simple terms would be great as I'm no computer expert!
Thanks in advance.
Andy

Hi Andy, I know this is slightly different, but I recently mixed an album (about 13 tracks) on Logic with my Macbook pro, and all of the audio was on my 5 year old WD mybook which I think is USB 2.0. I didn't think it was going to work at all but I didn't have any problems.

i have recently started recording a to a seperate drive and have in the past recorded when on location to an external drive and haven't had any issues.

as long as the hard drive has a decent speed then it should be fine
