    Hello everyone!

    I need 24 GB ram to run my VSL template.  If I buy a good SSD 6 GB/s 256GB,  how much RAM do you think I will save?

    Thank you,

    Vincent

    What SATA card do you have ? SATA II OR SATA III

    The bester question, how much time I will save !

    I went down from 20mn to 1:40 to load my 97 instruments template

    You will save ram but it is difficult to know today as you have to go on trial and errors setting the preload buffer

    May be, but I doubt that somebody can answer ! appart reading the answer in a cristal bowl !

    It depends of so many parameters !

    You have to build your configuration and say I may have not enough memory or I may have too much !

    Thank you Cyril!

    But can you give me an approximation about SSD vs standard drive for ram?  Generally speaking,  does it saves 1/2,  2/3 of RAM,  ect?

     Hi Vincent,

    I will give you a approximation. In Kontakt 5 I changed my memory buffer from standard 60 kB to 6 kB. So that saves up to 90% of the RAM used.

    VSL says on page 8 of the VI Pro2 manual the same. You can save up to 90% or load up to 10 times more samples.

    Cheers,

    Sabine
