I bought myself a solid state drive for Xmas. My goal is to make working with Sonar faster. The most time-consuming part of it is loading instruments from EastWest. If I have a full orchestra, just loading the Sonar project can take 10-15 minutes. I've installed the SSD and copied the EW sample library onto it, plus all my Sonar projects. Sonar itself is still located on my regular C drive. Right now only the EW samples and the Sonar projects are on the SSD.
 
I'm surprised that nothing seems to have changed yet, but I don't really know what I'm doing. Loading the EW instruments shows no improvement at all. And I'm getting as many dropouts as before. What else do I need to do to take advantage of the SSD, and what things are not ever going to ber helped by it?

Are you really in Seattle?  If so, I can chat with you in person.  I have SSDs running and it's lickety split.

I thought it would be best to transfer the software directly from the disc or from the download site straight to the SSD.
