#2 - Samples and large virtual instrument content, such as spectrasonics stuff, and esp large kontakt libraries - should be relegated to separate drive for samples, so the constant streaming work for that drive, is not interrupted by constantly running the computer, the daw, the plugins, and all other applications you're running at the same time. it's just too much ridiculous space for the system to seek through. #1 - your startup disc/boot drive (mac or win, doesn't really matter) shouldn't be extra large - 500gb is more than enough - because otherwise, it takes much longer to index and seek times will suffer, whether you've filled it up mostly, half way or even just a litte. If you or anyone else has ever had any real audio production classes, they will tell you this: if you do this, i would suggest partitioning it, and keep the actual startup disc to 500 gb or less, and the rest for samples/storage. To be perfectly honest, although I embrace SSDs as the only worthy drives for studio rigs nowadays, I would NOT go for such large capacity SSD unless absolutely not having any other option (like multiple drives, nas array etc.),ĨTB is absolutely ridiculous, for a startup disc.
#MACBOOK PRO MID 2012 SSD UPGRADE WORTH IT MAC#
If I were in a situation of considering 8TB SSD, I might simply just get a Mac Mini with no less than 2x cpu performance and upgradeable up to 64GB ram, for me that would seem as more useful value than that much bigger SSD storageĮDIT: I remember why I always prefered anything but QVO - if you check warranty, those cheapest QVOs have 3 years, then regular EVOs have 5 years, and PROs have also 5 years - it may be unimportant, but there must be a reason Samsung skimps on that One can back them up on HDDs, but very slowly, and running any application on a HDD formatted with APFS is like swimming in mud.)Ĭlick to expand.to be perfectly honest, although I embrace SSDs as the only worthy drives for studio rigs nowadays, I would NOT go for such large capacity SSD unless absolutely not having any other option (like multiple drives, nas array etc.),īecause frankly one of my 500GB 860 EVOs bricked within less than year of casual usage, luckily it was just a system+programs drive so no valuable data loss, and luckily I was given a new piece as a within-warranty replacement, but such occurrence reminded me of how unreliable a single-storage solution remains to be, no matter if it's HDD or SSD,Īs you previously mentioned upgrading into "only" 16GB ram, I don't assume you'd be able to run sh!tton of libraries or tracks anyway, so in my eyes having such massive amount of storage would be basically wasted, populated with data you wouldn't even use once a year - in which case external SSD might do just fine perhaps? (One thing worth noting: the newer APFS-format OSes cannot be backed-up on HDDs, due to how they're designed to run on SSDs. I'm not impressed with Catalina, and dissuaded from using it by all the breakage of plug-ins and such.
I moved to Mojave from High Sierra mainly to go easier on my eyes with the dark mode, and everything I use survived the move except for Best Service Engine (K'd), with which I was using the Synth-Werk library, fortunately, I'd kept a partition of High Sierra on the SSD, with Synth-Werk still available to me in Logic there. I also have one of the USB ports occupied by a 256GB shorty USB drive, where my libraries go (Arturia, Gforce, Spitfire LABS, Waves, Battery, Reaktor) rather than on my system drive. HDDs are good for recovering lost data with Disk Drill, I have been able to recover a good 99% of data from an "erased" HDD. I myself replaced the optical drive with a 7200 RPM HDD for data. Those specs are the same as my Macbook Pro.
