I am not an MPC Owner.

Hello, as the subject stated I wanted to know this for a long term and 'complex' organization. Not just one big 2 TB SSD with thousands of folders and projects, but smaller 250 GB partitions.
Depending on how the first question is answered: can you then create 'dynamic links' between programs and samples from multiple folders (and partitions), and just save the new presets created, without re saving the same samples associated with them over and over again?

Thanks.

It can definitely see partitions. My drive was an old WD I had laying around that had an old backup of my OS 10.7 system. When I put it in the MPC, it saw both the 'Macintosh HD' partition and the hidden EFI partitions on it. The catch is, they recommend you format the drive in the MPC, and the MPC cant partition it. You could always try and format/partition it as exFAT on a PC/Mac and see how it'll go after putting it in. Its Linux so it should be able to read symlinks too, again you just have to connect it in controller mode and do it from your computer cause you cant in the MPC.
