Ever since my music collection got to over 100k and more, I've been searching for optimizations.
I've had a Pentium processor, an i3, an i5, and currently an i7. I've had a plain hard drive for most of the setups until I got the i5; on that platform I installed and used a RAM disc because the New Music function and many others became unusable when my collection got close to 200k. The RAM disc uses 4 GB out of 16 GB RAM. The faster processor definitely helps with music scan times which I do frequently. The RAM disc or probably an SSD helps with managing a large database and reduces the scan times. I've noticed that all commands SNAP much quicker with the RAM disc. Good luck. http://zzzone.net http://have-a-nice-day.org http://www.last.fm/user/zzzoneDOTnet http://somethingsomethingsomething.net dBpoweramp Cisco E4200 SBS 7.8 - i7 laptop - Win 8 64bit 3 Booms, 2 Radio, 1 Touch, 1 iPod Touch w/digital dock 2 controllers, various tablets/phones Various apps including iPeng, Logitech Android, etc. 'Library' (http://zzzone.net/photo/2009/music1.jpg): 237,000+ FLAC/MP3 files - 12 TB HD Onkyo TX-NR818, KEF Q300/Q200/iQ30, Outlaw LFM-1 Plus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jimzak's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17592 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101521 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
