128 GB Ram for Sonar Platinum and still having problem to load Libraries

What version of Windows 10, Home, Pro etc.

More RAM does not make the PC faster.
Loading time is a thing of the cpu and the hard drive with the libraray.
From own experience I know that 4 internal harddrives (as well as 4 USB drives) slow down the PC significant.
For Backup we use fast NAS over network.
 
Even try to unplug the 4 hard drives and make a test.
Check if all drivers for the cpu and system are proberly installed.

Not quite true, as low enough RAM means lots of reliance on virtual memory, and unless the page file is on an SSD, then the difference can be remarkable. Even on an SSD it can be an issue. Though it would be unusual if this had been a significant problem in the 24gb machine, so you're right in that going from that machine to the current one shouldn't be a striking difference.

Sorry to quibble with both of your points, but there's no reason why extra hard drives should slow the system overall. I've got five in my computer right now.
 
Everything about this screams "configuration issue". The hardware components themselves are more than adequate.

Nevertheless, I would first unplug the 4 hard drives.
If there is a problem in the configuration it is best to search the problem with the minimum hardware.
It is about 1 minute to unplug the 4 drives.
There are cases where a HDD can slow down a SDD or the whole system - if the drives are in wrong order or systemdrivers are missing.

and this problem is with every VSTI my friend Zargg

Less than 8gb of ram in Windows can be an issue where memory can bottleneck the speed of the computer but once you cross that threshold, almost anything you throw at a Windows machine that slows it down is in no way related to memory.  Your bottleneck is in some other part of the config.  128gb of ram is overkill in the biggest sense.

As an earlier poster suggested, cut back to minimums and give it a try, OS drive, Data Drive, Sample drive.

I have a feeling the backup drives are the problem.

I would avoid using any real-time backup programs or routines.

Having an extra drive to save duplicate projects to (I suggest BUN files if doing this) can be ok, but real time backup, especially raid setups, can slow you to a crawl.  Some folks sort out real time backup but if something conflicts or is set oddly, it can kill you.

Also, Win 10 has all the virus protection you need built in so make sure you don't have any system choking 3rd party AV or malware stuff running.

Use Windows Resource Monitor or MS Process Monitor to help determine what's going on during those two minutes.
 
 

Either some software is pegging the CPU to 100% all of the time (eg. it's being used for Bitcoin mining in a botnet) or there's some serious hardware problem that Windows is hiding.
 
I'd suggest checking Task Manager to see what's running, removing all unnecessary background processes, running a few scans to check for malware, and checking whether other programs also have slow loading times.

Assume that your program is set to actually fill all available ram on first start. Further assume that the programmer realized that not all computers have infinite ram and used some type of buffering or selective loading so that once the available ram is filled loading stops, the program starts to work, and further data must be fetched from the hard drive, or a smaller smart cache in memory. Let's say it takes x seconds after you start the program to fill the 8 gig of ram that the program sees in your computer as available. If you now increase your ram to the point where the program now sees 80 gig available to load, then it will take 10x seconds to fill the available memory, and your start/load time for the program will have increased dramatically. The larger memory machine may well be able to deliver the samples to the program from the fast ram in less time, but before it can do that it must spend more time filling up the free ram on the more memory endowed machine. So play may be more efficient with fewer pauses, but loading/startup will take longer if it requires reading a lot of data into memory first.

Sounds like a Kontakt issue to me I load big Kontakt libraries over a LAN shared harddrive and never takes more than 2 minutes on any of them...so I have libraries going from my DAW into my synth computer, loading and then back into the DAW via analog...check your Kontakt file buffers...

Many great tips thanks a lot friends ......... I am trying all the suggestions 
Hop to find solution

Just did a few loading tests on my system.

Twin 2.27 Ghz Xenon processors
18gb ram
6970 Ati Vid card 2gb ram
120 Gb SSD OS drive
500GB Data SATA
500GB Sample SATA

True Pianos 1/2 second load
Rapture pro, instant load, instant patch change
Addictive Drums 2, 5 second to insert, instant patch change.

You have some problem other than Memory.  The old 24gb was more than enough.
 
 
 

 
Hey SimpleM,
 
remember this post:

So I assume you solved your problem...... What did the trick?

Ah, there's a weird thing with how you add sample libraries to Rapture, and I've completely forgotten what it is. Perhaps someone will chime in. As I recall, there's a really un-intuitive extra step you have to do to get it to register the extra sounds.
