Pro Tools 10 SSD Support

[gclef101]

I was reading about Pro Tools 10 and I saw in the features that said its SSD supported. Does anybody have any experience or understanding? Does it mean you can use SSD's as a recording drive now?

Just get the Toolkit and use Disk Caching instead.

I already have Pro Tools 9 HD. I don't need the toolkit. Thanks

some SSDs have better write performance than others, especially on long takes
but there is no reason they shouldn't work

now there high $/GB ratio is another thing
and that the cells ware out after x0,000 write cycles, especially if they don't have TRIM support

SSD's are still going through the SATA backplane- they cant compare to a RAM cache performance wise. Also SSD drives are insanely expensive for the per gb cost- for the cost of a 256gb SSD one could buy 4TB of disk storage.

1TB of storage for $500 with speeds of 980MBps read and 840MBps write. And no SATA bottleneck, it's on the PCIe bus.
