Link to Slave system I want to build (What are your thoughts?)

[mrd777]

Hello masters!

I was wondering if you may be so kind as to take a look at what I'm thinking of doing for a slave system and let me know if you recommend any changes? I'm no master, so days of research leads me to believe something like this would probably be a good setup:

I want to run the two SSD drives as RAID 0 for speed.

I would also want this system to serve as a backup DAW machine in the case the main DAW system takes a crap.... So this extra computer will serve as a sample slave, as well as a daw backup. I have been having problems lately with my DAW machine crashing, so I feel the need to make sure I have a backup as well. I figure if the main daw goes down, I can just plug my monitor(s) into the slave system and have Cubase run directly on it.

Thoughts???

Thanks!
Dave

ps, I am not doing any live recording in this studio!

I'm no expert, but I'd probably go for an Intel Core i7 6700K instead of the Xeon, I've heard they work better with single core performance.

I've gotten conflicting answers about that. Hopefully more ppl chime in...
