Rosea, > Thanks for the replies so far. Till now people seems to be positive > about SSD for audio data. More and/ or different views on this? What exactly should be the problem using SSDs for audio? SSDs are far superior in comparison to discs in every way except the the number of write cycles. We use SSDs in audio production a lot, also for editing video. There are PCIe cards on the market (OCZ e.g.) which offer way higher bandwidth and IOPs than 3GBit/6GBit SATA drives. They allow for instantenious handling of several uncompressed HD/2k streams while editing and create a very comfortable workflow. Of course we don't use SSDs as a storage solution, just for the 'hot' data (=active projects).
