Are external hard drive still needed to store and run large virtual instrument libraries?


Recommended Posts

Hello all,

 

I was always told not to place virtual instrument data on the same drive as my applications drive so as not to bog or slow down Logic.

 

With the latest iMac offering up to 2TB SSD and 64GB 2400MHz DDR4 and iMac Pro starting with a 3.2GHz 8-core Intel Xeon W processor offering to 4TD SSD and 128GB 2666MHz DDR4 ECC memory, does one still need to stream virtual instrument data from their USB 3 connected SSD Drives or can one now load from 2TB to 4TB of virtual instrument data on the same startup drive that runs the Logic application without running into congestion problems.

 

Thank you for any thoughts you might have.
