RE: Where to store my samples?

You can place all samples on 1 disk.  That's what I do here.  I also record
to the same disk with 0 issues.

Hi Phil, is it ok or even recommended to have more than one sample library
on the same disc, or would it be better to have one 512GB SSD for NI
complete and another for par example vienna orchestral instruments?

Thanks

Ben

For what it is worth not running a raid system here but it all runs plenty
fast enough on Mac OS.  Got a Samsung EVO 500GB in the laptop and A Samsung
T3 external 1TB disk for samples and audio projects.

Hi Steve, I think I might have found a nice multidock for SSDS made by
Blackmagic Design under Thunderbolt 2:

 

https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/blackmagicmultidock

 

>From what I read so far there is really no fan. The main reason against it
would be that maximum speed for one SSD is about 370m/s. but all 4 SSDS are
just separate drives and if it's gonna be to slow I still could make a raid
0 for just two SSDS which could give a bit more than 700m/s.

And it seems to be built well with internal power supply. One could daisy
chain up to 6 multidocks. There are people using it when working with
orchestra libraries. So I guess it could be a good solution.

What do you think?

Raid allows for multiple drives to appear to the computer as one drive with
the sum of its storage.  For example it will allow for two 500GB drives to
appear as a 1TB drive. Tis of course a most basic explanation and there are
options where it can use one drive for the data and the other for backing up
the data so even though there is two 500gb drive in that option it will
appear as just one. I say all that to say if you plan to get a 4 bay drive
bay and want to use each of the 4 separate drives for different things, for
example, 1 drive for samples, one drive for recording to, one drive for
media etc etc, then you wouldn't want to use any of the raid options. OWC
has an excellent reputation but is not the most inexpensive either. Samsung
eve are still the SSD's all others are compared to so it's still a safe bet
to go with those.

Hi all

 

Does anyone of you store your samples on SSDs in a thunderbolt enclosure? Is
a Samsung Evo 850 good enough for this? I imagine this would be the way to
go if I want to have a fast and quiet setup.

I'm looking for a thunderbolt enclosure which can hold 4 SSDs. It should be
very quiet because most of my other things are, best without fan if this is
no problem with SSDs. I have a MacBook Pro 15 from 2015 with thunderbolt 2.

But I think I may get a more powerful mac pro only for music production
after some time which probably would have thunderbolt 3, so this enclosure
should be compatible with both.

My idea would be to use individual SSDs, one for the samples, for the
projects, for temp data ...

I read about enclosures from Akitio or OWC.

Should I even bother with raid 0 for the samples or is this just wasted
effort and money for sample libraries?

I just bought NI complete 11 ultimate and am waiting for the download
instructions. Later I probably will need a serious orchestra library. So
that's why I'm asking if raid 0 is needed or not.

 

Thanks for your thoughts on this and kind regards

Ben
