I guess that can also explain the difference in how many voices I get to stream before the system falls over. That's a pretty old chipset (8 years), so you might indeed be reaching its limits. Try the gray ports on your mobo, they are SATAIII and should support the full speed of EVO SSDs. But even so, they should go up to 250 MB/s for read or write. I can pull 820 voices from a single SSD connected to a SATA port on my mobo, across multiple Kontakt instances. I easily get 500 MB/s with either of my 5 Samsung 850 EVOs (this at 128 samples buffer size, I get double that voice count with 512 samples buffer). Reading rate of 80 MB/s over SATA is extremely peculiar. However, I'll be glad if you clarify the SSD connection part! I'll leave it at 12.00 if I decide not to load more libraries nor new instruments within the current project. Tried increasing it around 12.00 kb but while it slightly reduces the stress on Disk & CPU, it eventually has a 1,5 GB more addition in RAM dept which rises overall RAM usage from 9 GB to somewhere around 11 GB in a system total of 16 GB. I've set the DFD buffer size at 6.00 kb in Kontakt. I can hardly remember if any other cable set was there when I bought my SSD or should I look for it in my MOBO's box?Īlso, if I choose to connect it using SATA, does this make it completely a new drive? I mean, should I change the drive letter already assigned?įinally, I've also guessed USB 3.0 isn't the "best" option to go with while connecting it but is it worth to try, does it make a huge difference? OTOH, Do you mean what options I have on my MOBO when you said "depending on what you have available"? My MOBO is an ASUS P7P55D-E, with specs page here -> I just wanted to make sure "distributing libraries accross multiple drives" is out of question when it comes to SSD. Better would be to use internal SATA or M.2 or Thunderbolt, depending on what you have available.īTW, I assume you're using the global DFD buffer size override option in Kontakt? To which value is it set? However, USB 3 is NOT the ideal connection for SSDs. With their speed, you don't need to distribute the libraries across multiple drives so much as it used to be the case with HDDs. Keep your sample libraries on the SSD, it's the best. Can possibly a mod/admin please move this into Reaper General Discussion? I'd be glad if someone experienced would clarify these for me.ĮDIT : Probably I have opened this thread in the wrong section. Should move 1 of them to my other disk drive which is an HDD? Will this make it worse or better? Those 3 libraries reside in the same disk drive mentioned above. I have 3 libraries(2 full ensemble strings + 1 brass section) that mostly spikes the CPU and the SSD in question. In busy parts of the song where the total number of voices increase around 500-600, I have seen in Kontakt UI that disk read bumps up to 100%(red) despite I see a disk read around 30% in the Task Manager which creates drops&pops in sound.Ī) Is my CPU having hard times to cope with data transfers from my SSD?ī) Am I using my SSD's capabilities to its full? It is not compressed & indexing is turned off.Ĭ) Is USB 3.0 connection method for my SSD the best? Any alternative?ĭ) At some place I've read that it's a good habit to distribute the most frequently used huge sample libraries between different disk drives. I store most of my sample libraries that the projects use/require in my Z drive which is a Samsung SSD 750 EVO connected through USB 3.0 I have some song templates for orchestration.
