Regarding an external HDD for the Omnisphere 2 Library I think a small SSD drive (like the SanDisk Extreme 500 Portable 120 GB) would be optimal and pretty awesome. It's fast and very small.

Can't wait for the new MacBook Pro that comes out later this year! That should be able to run Omnisphere 2 pretty well :)
SSDs are amazing and 100% worth it. You will literally be saving time in your life buy buying faster hard drives, and for musicians that creative window is so essential. You shouldn't waste time waiting for a sound to load, because it definitely adds up.

The Samsung 850 EVO's are the usual go-to for 2.5" SATA drives. But if you're like me and obsess over speed, the m.2 SATA slot SSDs are insane. A preset in Omnisphere that would normally take fifty seconds to load is now ready in two. That's more time spent writing :phones:

why don't you take that $500 and buy a new laptop? sounds like you need it. Or you can spend 1k and get the same thing apple wise.

As I mentioned earlier I am definitely going to get a new MacBook Pro but right now is the worst possible time to buy it since a new redesigned MacBook Pro is supposed to come out later this year.

Which preset takes that much time to load?
I've only come across presets that takes about 5-10 seconds to load but i do have a SSD Hard disk in my Mac.

I have solved the library installation problem. The Library is now on my MacBook Air and working. I made a search and people said it was due to local time machine snapshots so all I did was turn off and turn on time machine and then storage space was slowly reindexing.

"I've experienced this problem a few times. For me, it's always been because of local Time Machine snapshots. Try toggling Time Machine off and then back on. This fixed the issue for me – it seems to clear out the local snapshots (Disk Utility counts local snapshots, whereas Finder doesn't)."
