Is there a reason you can't use a desktop (powered drive) drive?
I haven't used it, but I have got several G-Tech desktop Thunderbolt drives and they are quality.

Football is rubbish.
I have an external 7200rpm thunderbolt G drive for my samples, not the same one as in Octatonic's link, but I guess it must be similar in performance. Everything else goes on bog standard 5400rpm externals, it's pretty cheap to get them these days - 1tb usb3 can be found for about £50
Recording to the internal SSD will be fine too
As I'm usually only recording one track at a time it looks like I am better off keeping the drive attached via the hub. Who'd a thunk it?
The drive is a 2TB Seagate backup plus formatted into two partitions, one of 500 gig for Time Machine and the remainder as FAT 32 for PC compatibility. Would this affect the speed in any way?
Thanks for your replies so far, Octatonic I'll have a think about that drive...
Do you actually have Time Machine switched on while you're using the drive for audio? That could well be causing problems.
