I know there has been discussion on this and I've tried to decipher what I "think" is the consensus but please indulge me just to help me feel more confident.
I currently have an i7 4770k system with 32GB of ram and a 250GB drive for my OS, a 4 TB 7200K drive for Kontakt samples. I have a 250GB SSD for my East West Hollywood stuff. I've been considering upgrading my system to a new Ryzen CPU with 64GB of memory, leaving most everything else the same. Would I be better off keeping what I have and replacing my 4TB HD that houses my Kontakt samples with a couple of 2TB SSD's? Since I use a lot of Kontakt and based on what I've been reading I'm beginning to think that SSD's will make a bigger impact than more ram. Of course both would be ideal but since my current system would require a new MOBO and CPU to support 64GB of ram doing both is not in the budget right now. Your wisdom is appreciated.
