I have the same beef with the instruments in SampleTank 4 Max. The load time kills me when auditioning sounds. I think that the sounds are excellent in both products. Was even thinking about upgrading my sample drive to an SSD to improve that. But in comparison, I recently picked up Arturia's Analog Lab for the massive amount (6500) of preset analog synth sounds provided. And they load instantly for me. Would probably consider jumping on the full collection, but the amount of tweaking in the Lab is sufficient for most performance needs. Sound designers or hardware synth lovers might disagree with that last statement. An SSD drive is a game changer for sample libraries. You would not regret that purchase. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to replace my current SATA Samples drive. So where can I get an 8TB SSD samples drive for about $200? Ok, maybe $300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, maybe $300. As you probably know, you can't. Not even close. Current prices are around $170 for a 1TB Samsung 860 Evo $400 for 2TB, and $600 for 4TB. $200 is roughly the price for an 8TB mechanical drive (3.5" internal). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My next project is the sample drive. Changing my system drive to SSD was a big game changer! Got my secondary SATA hard drive split into two partitions, one for samples and one for archives, and its nearly full. Going to add another SATA SSD exclusively for the samples, and dedicate the spinner to archives. Then I can buy more sample libraries. Which is out of the question at the moment, and I'm afraid I might miss a good deal! ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is out of the question at the moment, and I'm afraid I might miss a good deal! ? I was hoping to get an SSD for my sample drive when I get to yet another project™which is to upgrade my studio computer (well, replace it). I just upgraded the cooling in my gaming PC which is a lot cheaper than building a new studio machine but I've been trying to spec a reasonable SSD for the sample drive during the early stages of planning. Seems the market is a bit janky right now for some parts, though, so those who aren't careful (present company of bargain seeking experts have no worries there though!) could possibly end up taking a bit of a bath on a build from what I'm seeing. Most recently I noticed power supplies spiked in price but I believe that's settled down. I'm not flush with cash due to my move anyway so I can play the waiting game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that did allow me to watch prices on SSD and M.2 drives. I was able to get several 1TB SSD drives, and a 500gb M.2 (for system) and a 1tb M.2 for storage, and I didn't pay much over $100 for any of them! 36 minutes ago, Peter - IK Multimedia said: I'm not flush with cash due to my move anyway so I can play the waiting game Best strategy right there! 7 hours ago, abacab said: Changing my system drive to SSD was a big game changer!
