  • What is the ratio of TB to GB for RAM and storage?

    So I'm planning a slave build here and I'm wondering how this works before I get into this.  I have no problems building a 128GB machine, but I'm wondering how large of a library that will support?  The number of active instruments I use at any time is not enormous (50 tracks), but I'm curious how the templates scale over time with this.

    I'm new to this world, but as I understand it, template size is highly dependent on RAM, regardless of active instruments.  And template size is somewhat a function of library size.

    So I guess I'm wondering the "node" limit of 128gb or 256gb in terms of libraries.  I'd like to limit my nodes and obviously price my builds around these realities. 

    Right now I have my eyes on an i9-10980XE which supports up to 256gb of ram.

    Any help is appreciated!
