Re: hard drive size
I wouldn't use anything less than a 500gb ssd for my OS got a Crucial Bx100 not the fastest but works great, and damn fast enough. Was cheap as well, only about $70 vs the 256gb one. Then put your samples on a separate drive, but make sure it's a fast drive.
I would use a WD Caviar Black 7200(of course) 3tb(samples can be large and add up fast, always getting more or making more so have the room to be able to do that, might regret it later. Specially if you use them for drums, and synths/keys). Also check out the speeds on the specific drive you choose, they are all not the some and some perform better than others. Even though they all say WD Caviar Black 7200 certain ones perform better than others. Another one is the Seagate Enterprise hard drives they run quick and have a longer warranty(5yr I think) than other Seagates, also have less problems than other Seagates. But Seagates are known for problems. HGST are the most reliable HD's but run slower than WD hard drives. Of course you could go balls out and get the WD Velicoraptor, and just use it till you run out then get another one. Or put your samples that you use most on there, or ones that you use for bigger mixing sessions, or the larger ones so it keeps up speed to process everything. Lot's of angles to think about I know. Kinda a pain in the ass. Know this is a little old but might help future readers. WD Velicoraptor |
