My laptop has SSD which is fully used so I'm thinking of installing the Realtrack on 128GB SD Card, is that possible?

Can't foresee any problem with that. But having it all on an external drive is also an option.

It should be possible. We've had other discussions about putting all of BIAB, or part of it like the RealTracks, on flash drives. I can't see any difference.

I'm assuming you do not have the audiophile edition. I don't think SD cards exist that are large enough.

If it is a HD version, just use the factory's hard drive....

But aside from that, yes, you should be able to install it onto any external or removable drive with the capacity to hold it.

I ran it for several years (in the past) on an external USB backup hard drive, and it ran quite well. That was when I was on a lappy and didn't have the room on the laptop HD for BB/RB.

I have a 500 gig external flash drive which has my biab 2014 everything pack on it. I just copied from the HD that got shipped to me to the flash drive...works great and I keep the original had as a backup. I stopped putting any of my music files and or programs on my main drive as I seem to blowup laptops with regular consistency..( got burned a couple of years ago and lost a couple of years worth of work) Of course I beat them up as I do software development and the laptops get abused....

I'm kinda counting on it. I've run it from many different drive setups, and a flash drive should be no different.

I'll post my results if you post yours. My chip gets here Monday.
Probably won't know until Wed or Thurs next week.


I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

I've used BIAB on a 128 2.0 USB flash drive for almost two years now and it has worked well. I have tons of music files on it as well (including several Norton collections of fakebook BIAB files, my favorites folder, etc.). I plan to try a 3.0 USB flashdrive next......haven't done a SD drive yet.

Oops, my reference to the "128" means a 128 GB flashdrive.
