so i'm looking into an external drive to increase my ram efficiency with sample heavy plugins like kontakt, maschine, battery, nexus. is it necessary to purchase an ssd to improve my ram capabilities when using these plugins? or do normal external hard drives relieve enough cpu workload? from your experience, does your cpu decrease significantly just off the fact that the hard drive is external, or does investing more into an ssd necessary to improve capablities?
 
Your hard drive shouldn't affect your ram or cpu workload. A slow hard drive can however create a bottleneck which will slow down your entire computer system because it's the weakest link. A solid state drive has several benefits including much faster data read/write speeds compared to most spinning drives. SSDs also put out almost no heat.
