CakeAlexS, yep I have one but haven't fitted it, partly because I was waiting for drive prices to drop a bit / get bigger.. you can also get a kit to make the dvd external usb also.
 
it's easy enough to fit as I replaced a dvd drive.. it's just 1 screw holding it to the laptop case.. an acer in my case.
 
NI komplete is very big, as are other sample based things.. so yep it eats drives like no ones business. it's kontakts libs mainly..
 
also dunno if it still applies, as it does with earlier komplete's... but do a search for "pdf" and you might find a load of french / german etc pdf's that just fill up drive.. that you can get rid of.. unless of course you speak them languages also..
 
this will show you bloat area's , you might want to have a look >

Apparently with your laptop you can put in a second internal drive?
 
 
 
Otherwise swap out your hard drive with a larger new one (clone old to new).
 
Then again what is using up all that disk space? Surely that's other stuff that could me moved offline. ?
 
 

I actually wasn't aware that my laptop could accommodate another drive! Thanks for that info. I know I can expand my 12 GB of RAM up to 16 GB as well. Maybe I'll just do both at once.

My disk space is mainly being taken up by Cakewalk Projects (audio), as well as music files. I can't move my music files offline because I have them synced with iTunes and my iPhone. I have another laptop, an ACER, that I use for work. I'm considering moving all of my music from my ASUS to the ACER and just sncying my phone to that so I can clear up a ton of disk space. Maybe that will be my project for tonight :)

I have Komplete 8 Ultimate and to be honest I never thought of purging all of the foreign language PDF's...although surely they wouldn't take up that much space?
