abacab Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Not too bad!!! I put a 500GB 970 EVO Plus M.2 in my system as the boot drive, fast as hell! I didn't need 2 TB for that use, but this one would make an excellent sample content drive! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think of having a 4tb ssd just for the OS, a 2nd 4tb ssd for audio files, a 3rd 4tb ssd for libraries and a 4th 4tb for more sample libraries? That's what a guy in a beard and glasses said to get on YouTube Edited December 1, 2022 by Christian Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I make daily full images of my OS boot drive every night, and retain about 5 days worth of images on my backup drive. If my OS drive held more data than 250GB, the images would run longer and the backup drive would need a lot more space. So it's an efficiency decision for me. As it is, only about 40 minutes are required to restore my boot drive with a previous image if things in software ever go sideways. And they occasionally have. No need to waste hours and days troubleshooting, just roll back and good to go again in 40 minutes! My OS drive contains Windows, plus my account folders like documents, etc., along with all applications and plugin folders (.dll & .vst3). All application content and plugin sample libraries are kept on a separate internal SSD that gets backed up weekly.

TheSteven Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 I got 2 of these and they rock. I paid $220+ each for mine and that was a good price at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeGBradford Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Chillblast who are building my new PC (and built my current one over 10 years ago) have charged me around £300 for one of these as a data drive (I have 1Tb of the same for my system drive) which is a bit steep to say the least (their other component costs are not unreasonable and they have a five year warranty - 3 years on site) but I thought I may as well have it fitted from day one.

I guess that's the cost of having someone build for you. Not eveyone has time or desire to build their own but I wouldn't be able to get my mind around such an upcharge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeGBradford Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 To be fair the sales rep advised just going for the SSD as a data drive and that is perhaps why! Still I did get £100 off in their BF deal so not too unhappy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
