Thank you for heads up on samsung ssd and the rest

For the SSD do you think is better to go with 4TB CORSAIR MP600 PRO NH NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD (up to 7000 MB/R, 6500 MB/W) , instead of the one you configured ?

If it's being used as a games drive, then the extra £60 it would cost is not worth it...game drives don't need to be overly quick. Even the slowest M.2 drives are really quick anyway.....on my old PC, the M.2 drive on that was about 1/3 the speed of the Corsair I added to that spec and I never had any issues with game resources loading or anything. Your other uses I doubt the extra speed would be useful either but I'm not very knowledgeable with music uses etc

Yeah its music what I thought about , some plugins really need time to load because they're heavy and I dont know if that's mainly CPU who does the job on that

I would be surprised if 5GB/s didn't cover speedy music loading tbh. The higher numbers only really come into play with larger files. The smaller ones are more about the random read/write of smaller file sizes which on most drives is fairly similar. If there are 100s/1000s of items being loaded then the more expensive drives do tend to have a bit more cache, it's all much of a muchness though.

It's a numbers game at this stage, 7000 is larger than 5000 but when you're looking to load 100 it's a moot point. Or as Joey says, a moo point.

You'd be surprised how big the files are for music production tbh, theres plugins of 70gb with 30gb libraries (each) inside that you need to load sometimes, if you need to open 3 of these at the same time most cases your music program will crush

I did make some research and some say 5000-7000 is where you want to look at

If you're loading 100GB of plugins/libraries, then where are they loading to? Would you not also need 128GB RAM to run them effectively?

The program I use to make music is FL Studio 24 ... normally 32gb RAM works fine on that as I currently use 32gb
But from what I see on the program it shows how much CPU is being used and I think is because the program mainly uses CPU for things to run smooth, and SSD to load them

Theres cases where to open a library it would take like a minute or two

What specific plugin are you referring to?

Kontakt, Serum, Omnisphere

For example I need a piano on Kontakt and then I need to load another Kontakt to find a violin and so on

They're nowhere near 70Gb??? Where are you seeing that?

The sound libraries are large, but each instrument itself is tiny, what the plugin is actually importing per instrument is extremely small.

Plugins load in RAM, not the CPU

Kontakt with factory library is 50+ and libraries like spitfire i use are 100gb - 500gb+

It’s not Kontakt that’s 50+ though, most of that is the libraries. And same with spitfire.

A library is just hundreds of very small instrument files.

So what its actually loading per instance is very small

If a plugin is taking a long time to open it’s because of CPU being weak to open initially, then if your RAM is overloaded it will be offloading into the page file on the c drive unless you’ve got a dedicated cache configured

I would say you're misunderstanding how the file is loaded and allocated. To load a file it needs loaded to somewhere. If you're fine with 32GB of RAM then the maximum you will ever load is ITRO 16GB which with a 5GB/s Read/Write wouldn't take 3 seconds at full chat. You won't get it running like this though and even the maximum speed drive available on the planet would be indistinguishable from a 5gb drive to the naked braincell.

If that's what you wanna do then go for it, it's your money. I would be careful what you convince yourself is factual though as you can send yourself down some rabbit holes with misunderstanding.

True, kontakt loads fast but if I was to load them tiny instrument files they can take 1-2 minutes
You think is better with a 64gb ram then ? I don't have a dedicated cache atm
