Hi Devonplayer,

I just installed my SuperPAK on a USB hard drive. It does take 20-25 Giga.

All the files installed under \bb and \\RealBand.

As to fragmentation, and files being PHYSICALLY scattered in the drive, it would depend on how much continuous disk space was there in your hard disk PRIOR to installing the PG software.

If the disk was defragmented BEFORE installing the software (a good idea, would say), and the 25 G is continuous, then installation should not cause fragmentation. In fact, the software should likely work better, as some of the wma files are large, and when they are not fragmented, the operating system needs to do less seeks.

I believe that once one knows what one really uses, many files can be moved to separate storage, maybe one or more DVD's. But with all of it being in a fairly large USB drive, I am in no rush to do that, specially since I'm starting with it.

This drive I got is both USB and firewire, by the way. I'll hook it as firewire as soon as I get a cable that fits my laptop. Firewire should be even faster than USB, but actually USB is fine.

Best of all.
