For what benefit? I'm not having any reading or writing issues? I got 2-6 TB hard drives for 350 each. How much would 12 TB cost in SSD and what would I gain?

Depending on how large your projects are (track count etc.) you may benefit from the faster read/write speeds as well. Not to mention if you transfer data to and from these devices, doing so on SSDs is MUCH quicker. Soooo much faster. You're right in that cost will be a fair bit more, but then again, that TB3 enclosure would have set you back a pretty penny. You could have just used a USB3 enclosure which still gives you magnitudes more transfer speed than those 7200RPM drives work at. Those drives are not making use of the TB3 bandwidth at all. Last but not least, noise. If you have an engine room, this won't concern you, but if you have the drives in close proximity, the spinning hard drives put out a fair bit of noise. Flash storage is dead silent. I can literally hear a pin drop in my studio. |

Thanks, I could see that being a benefit but can't justify the price bump. My Thunderbolt 3 enclosure is for HDX and UAD. The drives are just external TB3 drives from Lacie. It's not as fast as SSD but up to 240MB/s transfers do it quick enough. https://www.lacie.com/products/d2/

He’s fine. He just has an outdated opinion on computers.

Re: New Apple Mac mini?
Sure. Of course my first computer only had 64kB of memory so what do I know about hardware...
