Re: Audio Hard Drives - SSD or 720's?
Currently my internal work drives (one for samples & one for sessions) in my cheesegrater are 7200 rpm WD Blacks and my system drive is a Samsung 1TB 850 EVO on a pcie slot adapter. Been looking to upgrade to at least an ssd for the samples using another Samsung on a pcie adapter. The dilemma is do I go to another 850 EVO or the newer 860 EVO which is supposed to have a greater capacity for terabytes written than the 850 EVO by a factor of four for the larger drives. Not so sure I'd need that for samples but for sessions? That's a major reason I haven't gone for an ssd for sessions as they get a lot of writing to them.
Thoughts?
My backups are 7200 rpm spinners in an OWC FW800 enclosure (the one that looks like a mini-cheesegrater). Backups manually done by Carbon Copy Cloner on a weekly basis as a minimum.
