Will,
I had purchased BIAB 2008 and never really used it because I didn't like the synth tracks. When I heard the Real racks with BIAB 2014 I decided to upgrade and go all in. The info for BIAB 2013 indicated about 40 gig for a full installation. So I purchased a laptop ASUS running Haswell i5 processor w/8gb RAM and 2 128 gb solid state drives.

BIAB 2014 took 70 GB of hard drive space (and several hours) for the full install - that was not going to work. I did install Amplitude and the other plug-ins on the C drive. Since my laptop has USB 3.0 I decided to get a Flash Drive. I bought a 128 GB PNY USB 3.0 for about $70.

It is running perfectly and runs much faster than running BIAB from the supplied hard drive - and no moving parts.
