Hi all,
Does anyone have experiences or tests of running an entire orchestral project off of a single SSD via USB 3.1 or TB3? Did a quick search on this but wasn't coming up with anything concrete.
Saw a deal come up today on an 8TB micron drive that I'm somewhat tempted by because it would be nice to have all my libs in one place to easily switch between my desktop and laptop/mobile setup.
I saw some interesting analysis done on NVMe vs SATA SSDs as it relates to sample streaming and load times in Kontakt, but couldn't find anything that specifically looks into the number of voices that can be streamed off a single drive. I suspect that CPU or RAM (I'm on a 64gb machine) would probably bottleneck first before the hard drive hits a breaking point, but I'm not entirely sure.
Might be stating the obvious, but while I may have all of my libs stored on a single 8TB SSD, I'm only ever going to be using some (much smaller) subset on whatever project I have active. So the metric should be whether I could stream enough off of it to not run into any problems on a large project?
Anyways, curious to hear people's thoughts on this.
