Or, if you want to go overboard like I did, put the RealTracks on a 10,000 rpm drive and the program and OS on a SSD. Then back up the song data to a USB external drive and Dropbox.

My big limitation right now is the processor. I have an aging Intel Core 2 Duo. Just the other day, I installed a program (update to Sibelius 7) that has my system as its minimum requirements! Still, things move along well enough.
