Thanx Gary .... Yeah - thats what I understood from the shop guy (laptop SSDs) - and also, when I asked about a hybrid drive - he said that storage is magnetic and the swap file is SSD ... So .... I didnt know the degradation was gradual and "measurable" ... Thats cool ... But I guess its ...

Good tip about the auto-defrag ... I will disable that along with all the other disposable services ... Another question about HDD realestate . I saw some posts about partitioning the last 1/3 of the HDD for permanant storage. I also saw a tip to move the swapfile from the OS SSD to a mechanical HDD...

Lol ....

I got a 4790 waiting for me at the shop - though after initially reading the post I was going to ask them if they have a K model .... Now reading this I might just stick to the regular one ...

Good luck !

Interesting read and thanx for all the detailed info Valis

Ok ... Thanx

(My current build has a russianovich defrag running on every startup - thoguh it usually just checks and skips defrag ... If I dont abort it before that ... )
(It was built and installed by a "pro audio" pc-builds shop back in the day .... )

Good informative read ....

Thanx all

Cool , thanx ... Ill check whats in stock here ....

Regarding defragging - even if its a "File/folder-structure" based defrag (rather than frequency-of-use or other methods ) ?

Btw @Gary - I basically will have 2 video outputs on my MOBO and then the video card outputs (I wonder if they will work in tandem ...

Thanks JK (you Superstar ;) ) Good tip about the sequential reading and fragmentation Two things I dont totally understand though .... 1) the audio(bounces)/projects drive will probably be fragmented because I do edit samples (with cubase offline processing) after creating them (and sometimes after ...

Thanks Ellis ... :) Im referring to "Mirrored" mode for 2 HDDs ... I just imagined in that case the DAW could read data from two places on the *common-virtual" HDD simultaneously ... thus doing even more than "doubling" my HDD "bandwidth" ... (I understood from the...

Lol .... @GaryB

Any advantages to a 4-head besides having the option for your workstation to look like the bridge on the starship enterprise ?

Thanx for the great info guys ... Yeah ... The raid thing was totally not my initiative - but i was sold on it because I imagined it would allow twice the hdd-read bandwidth (totally not sure I actually need it ... So I can start without it and upgrade to a RAID if the PC has a hard time .... Regard...

Thanks Gary, by Track length I meant "too large for mem storage" ... but again .. 16GB is alot ... I DO run track-counts of 100+ tracks sometimes (my guess is around 50 simultaneous) - and currently (on my XP + cubase with 7200 drives) I do see some heavy HDD loads sometimes .... (but thos...

P.S.

Apropo 4-head .... i actually think I will be moving from 2 screens to 1 big one (and perhaps a side mixer/scope monitor ... (For ergonmic reasons - e.g. I find I usually stare at the left part of the left monitor ....

Thanx for the advice ... My main current reason for thinking of ditching the graphics card is performance (I will probably also have 2 SSL duende PCIe cards) , second consideration is space (though I currently only have the two cards so that should leave me with 1 more empty slot even if I install a...

Getting closer now, Another question regarding the graphics card ... I am getting a Processor Core i7 4790 With Graphics Tray and Motherboard Gigabyte Mainboard GA-H97-D3H LGA 1150 MOBO I was also offered a " Gigabyte GT730 2GB DDR3 Passive Cooling GV-N730SL-2GL" Video Card. However - it s...

Whats included in the bundle ?
(And will it run onScope 5.1 / win7 64 bit ?)

Thanx

Awesome sauce !!

Thanx Peter !
(Wonderful upgrade-update )

Sounds great ... kudos !

For me the room reverbs are a bit strong and I wish they had a dry/wet knob ....

Keep on Rockin Peter ... And many thanx !

Yeah , my situation is actually a bit more complex because I also have 2 SSL Duende PCIe cards and might get an old UAD PCIe - so I will also need a couple of those ... The H97 3DH seems to be the largest mobo in terms of slot "real estate" but I will dig a bit deeper into them and the gra...
