I'd mentioned in a previous post my plan to build a PC slave to accompany my iMac 2009 i5. Having researched all components, along with brother who's in IT, I've come up with this. I'm looking to run a medium sized orchestral template with some other synths - omni etc. so 100-200 tracks ideally. More would be a bonus! I already have a suitable power supply and my brother has some corsair fans which I'm hoping will be quiet enough.
Libraries - 500GB Samsung 850 EVO, 2.5" SSD, SATA III 6Gb/s, MGX, 3D V-NAND, 512MB Cache, Read 540MB/s, Write 520MB/s, 98k/90k IOPS This will accommodate current libraries with a little free space. Plan to buy further drives in future.
Any foreseeable problems here, or other suggestions.
This comes in around £1000 which is around my budget.
