OTOH, Do you mean what options I have on my MOBO when you said 'depending on what you have available'? My MOBO is an ASUS P7P55D-E, with specs page here -> I just wanted to make sure 'distributing libraries accross multiple drives' is out of question when it comes to SSD. Better would be to use internal SATA or M.2 or Thunderbolt, depending on what you have available.īTW, I assume you're using the global DFD buffer size override option in Kontakt? To which value is it set? However, USB 3 is NOT the ideal connection for SSDs. With their speed, you don't need to distribute the libraries across multiple drives so much as it used to be the case with HDDs. Keep your sample libraries on the SSD, it's the best. Can possibly a mod/admin please move this into Reaper General Discussion? I'd be glad if someone experienced would clarify these for me.ĮDIT : Probably I have opened this thread in the wrong section.

Should move 1 of them to my other disk drive which is an HDD? Will this make it worse or better? Those 3 libraries reside in the same disk drive mentioned above. I have 3 libraries(2 full ensemble strings + 1 brass section) that mostly spikes the CPU and the SSD in question. In busy parts of the song where the total number of voices increase around 500-600, I have seen in Kontakt UI that disk read bumps up to 100%(red) despite I see a disk read around 30% in the Task Manager which creates drops&pops in sound.Ī) Is my CPU having hard times to cope with data transfers from my SSD?ī) Am I using my SSD's capabilities to its full? It is not compressed & indexing is turned off.Ĭ) Is USB 3.0 connection method for my SSD the best? Any alternative?ĭ) At some place I've read that it's a good habit to distribute the most frequently used huge sample libraries between different disk drives.

I store most of my sample libraries that the projects use/require in my Z drive which is a Samsung SSD 750 EVO connected through USB 3.0 I have some song templates for orchestration.
