Really happy with the Barracudas

Finally got everything back up and all the setting adjusted back to normal in preferences for my system.

Man adding the extra HDDs made a WORLD of difference in the load on the Processor with X1 running.

I barely have a tick on the first core and the rest arent even visible as far as working    WOW

    When I was scoping HDDs it was coming down to the Baracudas and the Caviar Blacks. I got the CBs. Wonder if I made the right choice.

    @Mike... I only started Sonar up for a second the other day just to make sure it would. Seemed alright. Might actually play around with it some today because I'm in too much pain to keep working on the place. I don't anticipate any issues though. Maybe not the best gauge of things but the system was running CoD2 fine (needed to blast some Nazis to blow off steam the other night) so everything seems to be doing what it should. I've been obsessively discharging myself of static so I've got that habit down and I put pieces of rubber flooring underlay underneath the DAW and speakers so hopefully that helps. Still haven't set up the humidifier but maybe I'll do that today.

    It's been quite the painful struggle but it's all looking pretty tight. Just gotta find room for my Line 6 Head and the mixer and the vision will be complete. Cheers.
