Is it possible to save Logos 10 on external storage space?
Technically it might be - depending on the type of storage device and the connection to the computer.
But it is not supported by Logos who state that storage must be internal to be supported - https://support.logos.com/hc/en-us/articles/360007506971-Logos-Minimum-System-Requirements
I have ordered it today:"WD Elements Portable External Hard Drive 2 TB (Portable Storage, USB 3.0 Interface, Plug and Play, Formatted for Windows) Black"
Tes - I believe this is a HDD as opposed to SSD.
I expect you will get quite poor performance on this if you use it for Logos.
And please remember this is not officially supported by Logos

SSD would have been better. As Graham stated, you are on your own with external drives, so make sure it is formatted NTFS for Windows.
I think this is an understatement. Logos performs poorly on an INTERNAL spinning drive; cut that performance in half or more for an external drive.
I doubt the forums will be much help, either. I'm Mac, not Windows, but it would require creating manual "aliases" to the Logos4 folder, which are likely to be broken with any and perhaps every update.
A much better idea is to move other resources (like movies or pictures) to an external drive and keep Logos where it wants to be.
But hey, I'm an early adopter and freewheeler myself, so please journal your experiences here for the benefit of all.
SSD would have been better.
Is there an external then SSD?

Sure - there are some options at https://www.crucial.com/products/ssd/portable-ssds or https://www.westerndigital.com/en-gb/products/ssd/external-ssd?filterByBrandName=WD

That would give better performance - but please do remember that it will not be officially supported by Logos.

Thank you Graham for your recommendation and assistance.
I have had two problems last week. First I lost the Proffessional Touch screen Libaray from BIblesoft. Second I have Dropbox where I have saved all my data,but I have experienced losing documents which I have saved them on Dropbox. Something I have missed it currently I have subscribed Microsoft Office 365, but instead of using the Drive one, I have continued to use the Dropbox. So I am not sure this time. I have to seek where my data save can. I undestand that Logos has nothing to with my external driver. This is only for safty reason.

It is a very slim drive with USB 3.2 Gen 2 technology so make sure you have a USB type C input on your computer to guarantee a better match to USB 3.2 speed. It is meant for storage on any OS (formatted exFAT), so it is not optimized for I/O by apps like Logos. You must format it NTFS for Windows.
Hi Dave,thank you for your concern und your advice. I will get the device today. I hope the type of the input you have mentioned would be compatible. As you can see below on the picture the Hardware Platform is "Window".
That is what I assumed, but you still have to format it as NTSF else you will have problems running Logos.
A Type C connection in your computer looks like this:
Notice the oval shape, as the larger Type A connections are rectangular.
The drive will have a type C connector, and it is best to use this if your computer has the corresponding input.
Hi Dave, I need your help- Please help me perhaps step by step by video.
You need to show me a photo of the drive with all its accessories. Does your computer have a Type C connection as shown (usually on one side of a laptop)?

I don't have oval shaped as you have shown, But the cable which has come with the Driver is compatible with my Computer , I can see as well the Drive on my Computer. Someone on the phone from a Computer shop told me that they have an adapter type C, or should it work only on a computer which has kind?

That will do. No need to get another cable.
On your computer, press Win+X (Windows key then X) and click on Disk Management:
You are done!
After installing Logos just remember that there is a procedure if you want to disconnect the drive safely.
Dear Dave Thank you so much for your great help. I am very excited ,but the Problem is I am not able to do it. Is there away of perhaps connecting me through the internet ?
