I'd like to distribute my Dimension violins over two drives. Is there a way to arrange the files so that I have four violins on one drive and the other four on a second one? Failing this, is it ok to just move half of the violin files to the second disc? I want to try and avoid potential streaming problems when using very large violin sections. Thanks John Cubase (OS agnostic). Various VSL bits and pieces.

I'd also like to be able to do this. I've been working with DS for a while now, and it's become -hands-down- my favortine string library. However, it's also become apparent to me that writing for full DS ensemble pretty much can't be done due to voice count streaming problems. I can't imagine my system getting much faster--- unless I'm missing something or something is ill-configured in my system. Any chance we will be able to do this in the future?

This functionality would be great but for different reasons in my case. I've built a small chamber ensemble that I use as the core of my template with Solo Strings taking the first chair spots. It would be great just to have the DS players I use on my SSD with the rest on my regular drive.

I should clarify, because I don't want people to think that DS is somehow unusable or flawed. I'm talking about ployphony when I also have a whole bunch of other stuff going too-- Dimension Brass, percussion, woodwinds, etc. And of course VIPro has unlimited bounce polyphony which virtually eliminates any polyphony issues.

Have any of you guys considered getting a SAS card and running 3 or 4 SSDs in a RAID? You should see around 2000MB/s read times. You can really push some data with a 4x or 8x SAS RAID. The enclosures might get pricey but I believe with an 8x 2 port card you could RAID 8 SSDs for a potential 4800MB/s. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure you can combine the two ports. Regardless I know SAS moves at 4800MB/s on an 8 lane PCIe 2 slot.

You'll still use regular SATA SSDs. Either you can use a SAS enclosure (which takes SATA devices), or use an eSATA enclosure and use a mini-SAS to eSATA cable. Very common. Look on OWC or Amazon for "mini SAS ro eSATA cable" and the other items. Or look here <http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001L9DU88/ref=redir_mdp_mobile?redirect=true&ref_=pe_157280_123686280_em_1p_0_ti>
