gamo sphere Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I have a dedicated setup for my DAW but it's in the basement and I dream of being somewhere else in the house where there is mor day light.....so I'm starting to investigate laptop. So.....Small disk space SSD or monster traditionnal HD? BTW. I know the working concept of an SSD and I already a big external HD to keep my files. Is this a big SSD no no, even focasual tracking? Let's see what you 'all have to say. Mario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmcleod Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) FWIW I use SSD's for everything nowadays, using my old HDD's for storing backup images. The only issue I had was with a SanDisk Plus, which died during the warranty period. SanDisk replaced it with a SanDisk Ultra II (free of charge) which is running great. Most of my other SSD's are Crucial MX300's / MX500's. Personally, I can't see you having any issues using them for casual tracking. For really heavy tracking, an SSD is still fine, but you'd maybe want to look into getting a SLC (Single Level Cell) based SSD which will cope with far more writes than the other types. For most uses the standard MLC (Multi Level Cell) technology is fine. I personally wouldn't use the TLC (Triple Level Cell) SSD's, but I guess they would be fine for your OS (assuming your swap file / hibernation file is on another disk), or a disk full of samples.
