Solid state drives
Has anyone here upgraded their hard disk to solid state? If so did you notice any dramatic improvements?
Also, if you purchase a solid state external disk and transfer all your sessions there as well as the digidesign folder containing the pro tools application then will that do anything towards preventing crashes and generally make it perform better? I am asking because I am getting way too many crashes and cpu errors. I can't upgrade the processor so before I get a new computer I wanted to try a few last ditch efforts to fix this one. |

Re: Solid state drives
SSD are not recommended for use with Pro Tools as a system drive nor audio drive.

Re: Solid state drives
I've heard that you shouldn't record to a SSD. Do you know why??

Note that this info comes only from my research; I do not yet own an SSD. Also, SSD's may have improved in the three months +/- since I did my research...

The benefits for audio users are that you could read and write to the same audio drive with a load of tracks, and not have to split things over multiple drives, as is necessary at the moment with normal HD. D
