I wish I could get my hands on a network attached storage with SSD, that
would be perfect!

Not wrong he just over simplifies for his audience which makes sense because
they tend to be targeted at the general user.
SSD is very easy to erase.

Of course they can be erased.:)
We have to erase the drives from our routers before we ship them back for
the customer for RMA work etc. You can erase them either with software or
by removing a battery with in the drive in some models. It's just a
database of data, it can be purged if need be.

I use samsung drives for backups and rebuilds. to me, very reliable. have
used seagates and WD's for a while but WD drives these days are (woh, nearly
said something shocking) rather nasty.
depending on storage needs, performance, etc. samsung 2.5" hdd's do perform
rather well. but I've been spoilt by SSD drives and wouldn't go back.

We literally would have smoke poor out of drives or even have flames in some
cases, especially early on. I was running a net news (NNTP) server on Sun
Sparc hardware and we were trying to find a home for 100+ gigs per day of
mostly binaries and pics although we took the full news feed. (over 32,000
groups) Disk access was so continuous across the whole array it sounded
like white noise almost or tens of computers at full boot hitting their
disks as fast as they could. I was happy to sell off that part of the
business, lots of hardware burn for little money.

The only thing to watch out with WD is they ship some shady batches at
times. They are good about replacements though and as mentioned, the
customer service is quite good. I used to find IBM the best back in the
day, WD drives would burst in to flames on my news servers, but most would
do to the seriously high load. Especially for external drives WD is a
pretty good option.

Never thought I would see this day, but it has come. For once I have to
agree with David. Western digital are the best JMO. I have 2 network
attached storage devices by them, and 2 external USB hard drives. One of
which I am running a copy of mavericks on. And none have ever failed me.
Not saying they are perfect, cause nothing is. But my experience with WD
has been better than with anyone else's brand. Great customer service too,
and gives 2 to 4 years warrantee on their products depending on what size it
is. HTH

H andy,
I guess this depends on how much music you have and what the size of the hd
in the mbp is. almost all external usb hds are good. you can't go wrong
with western digital as a start.

macbook pro. To safe memory would it be better for me to save this
collection on anexternalstorage device? If so can anyone tell me which
would be more compatible with the macbook?
Thanks
