Order of need for speed
I'm only able to afford 2 SSD drives at this point. I am loading W10 to the OS Drive. Is the need for speed higher for the audio drive for SPLAT, or sample drive? I have 16gb RAM, but use quite a bit of large sample vst's I keep unfrozen for editing.

I also bought two 500GB SSDs recently. I decided to use one as the O.S. drive, and the other for my go-to, most-often-used sound libraries. Now my Kontakt Quick load libs really are quick loading!

Thanks much, JonD - I have been unsure which aspect (writing audio to tracks/mixing or streaming samples) would benefit most from SSD speed. It sounds like you have been pleased with using yours for samples.

Thanks much. I have developed a issue on another thread if you're up for a challenge...
