Space on the drive would be a good reason, though personally I'm not actually short of space, so it's unlikely I'll bother.
Exactly. I assumed that someone already had space if they determined they would keep the WAV files. Today I exchanged Flac files for all my WAV files and put the whole program on my fastest internal drive (which would not have been possible before). I have all my PG Music supplied USB drives and kept all installers if I ever need them. And the new 1TB audiophile drive is amazingly small and light.
