[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1501752"] Well, the real question to ask yourself here is simply this: which files do I need access to ALL THE TIME? For many people, their iTunes library primarily "lives" on their iPhone, so maybe you DON'T need to carry the whole iTunes library around on your notebook all the time -- syncing and stuff can be done with the cloud or when at home, so the iTunes library is a good candidate to "offload." For some people, likewise the iPhoto Library. And Movies (in short, most media). This would save a lot of space on the boot drive of course, but it also makes your machine less fun when you're out and about! :) [/QUOTE]
