This may not be directly an AppleTV question, but it's related.
I've been given AppleTV as a birthday gift (my wife is awesome) and I already anticipate the problem of hard drive space. My iMac currently has 74 gb remaining hard drive space of a 1 tb. Almost 750gb of that total is iTunes media, specificially TV shows and movies. Now once I get going on my media conversion, I will quickly surpass the available HD space on my mac, which means I'm going to have to go external.
Already away from AppleTV sorry....
I haven't researched external hard drives too in depth beyond the point of realising that I can get a 2 TB external for about $125. I will very quickly pass the 2 TB mark, so I'd be more comfortable with a 4TB. Can I link the two together to create a 4 TB?
I know that iTunes has the auto sort option which I love b/c then my file folders are easy to navigate when I need to. Can I split where all the files go, so my iTunes library file is still on my iMac, but the data is on different locations (ie Simpsons on drive A, Seinfeld on drive B). So if I had a 4 TB hard drive it could auto sort to that one location, but if I had it all on 2 different drives, I couldn't auto sort.
Hopefully someone else has already questioned this and can just point me to a thread.
Thanks
