Re: SSD for audio

[Louis Gorenfeld <louis.gorenfeld@xxxxxxxxx>]

My experience with them has been that they are great for streaming samples off disk, say for DFD. I did some benchmarks with that, and got better performance out of a SSD with slower throughput than a much faster hard drive (with a small buffer size), I suppose because it's not seeking all over the map. I'm not sure about writing or recording audio streams; the expensive ones are probably good, but I do know that the less expensive solid state media are slow to write to.

Cheers,
Louis

Hi,

SSD disks seems to be fast and silent... but are they suitable for audio data, or is it better to just install your basesystem on it?

I know the masters of openoctave.org are using SSD for samples, at least. Other sounds on the Internet are that SSD is not perfect for audio (yet).
