DJX,
SSD’s are new to me. I understand and agree with your first
paragraph, (had to look it up).
So what brand and model are best used in DAWS?
There are many choices out there. Do you know which is most popular? Or
which is the fastest long lasting workhorse. Comments greatly
appreciated.

Just keep in mind, not all SSD are created equally, this is crucially
important for daw use. You have to take controllers into account, data
management and IOPS, as well as read lifetime and write lifetime. Since
you are reading and writing to the drive more than usual, it is
important to have an ssd with a good read and write lifetime, as well
as a high number of IOPS for good and actually fast operations, as well
as a decent amount of years of use.
When used in the wrong configuration, an ssd could be no faster than a
7200rpm rotational.
Speaking of rotationals, they also vary in performance, and careful
considerations must be taken here as well. Everything from rotational
speeds, data cache size, any power saving features or data optimization
features (both of which hurt performance) must be accounted for.
In this sector, not all brands are equal either; some have a higher
failure rate than others.
Also remember, if you are using a laptop for example be very careful
what buss you use for the drive, as a bandwidth issue could develop
when using external drives on the same buss as your audio interface for
example.

Yes indeed Andrey you can either use an SSD and or Spinning drive.The
SSD drive stream loads faster then the motorized drive.
There is one thing I’d like to point on the SSD drives and that is
their life spans.
I have been told that the SSD drive can last 10 years where as the
motorized lasts longer than that, however its all six to one half a
dozen, and between you, me and the lamp post, SSD drives are faster
lol.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for responding. So a spinning HD is not required for recording
but is cheaper. Cost is the only factor. Right?

Hi Andray a hard drive is very necessary to record your material.
If you are using S/onar it is best that you use the second drive to
stream and record all your music data.
Of course an internal second drive is alway the best, but in situation
where you are using a laptop, then you really have no choice unless you
configure your lap top to have to drives installed.
If that’s not the case then a external USB is fine for streaming, but
you should go with a USB 3 type drive.
Now a days SSD drives are becoming more and more common which means the
drive has not moto which means the drive can really work at a fast
rate, but SSD drives can be expensive, however I’ve seen them as low
as $200.00 for a 500GB which means that the moterized drives might be a
thing of the past in the not to distant future. For the moment a
motorized drive running at 72000 RPM is what you should go for and you
can get a
3 terabyte drive for as low as $180.00.
CGate, and or Western Digital are two good brand of hard drives.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.

Hi Guys,
Is a hard-drive essential for recording? Is an external HD for back up only?
