L Hall Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I'm setting up a new computer. Old Mac Pro 5,1 updated to Big Sur with Logic Main drive is SSD. Second drive is SSD. Third drive is SATA. So I have - Sample Libraries, Logic Sessions, and Audio. I've traditionally kept Sessions and Audio in different folders but now might use the "folder" save option to have them all together. With that in mind, should I put the Libraries on the SSD and the Sessions/Audio on SATA - or the other way around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution David Nahmani Posted May 22, 2022 Solution Share Posted May 22, 2022 Ideally you would get SSDs for both. But if that's not an option then I would probably put the projects and audio files on the SSDs and the sample library on the HDD. In the end, the results you'll get depend on your use of audio vs sample libraries. For example if you use only a couple of audio tracks but a LOT of software instrument tracks that make use of the sample libraries then the other way around may work better for you. So the best would be to experiment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Mac Pro's stop at Mojave before becoming a nightmare to update with all the necessary hacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L Hall Posted May 22, 2022 Author Share Posted May 22, 2022 Thank you David! I appreciate the input for sure. As for Big Sur, the reseller I bought from did the upgrade. It involved the right video card and a few other things, but he made it work. So far so good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
