Hi folks,

Based on my previous thread on whether a better sound card is needed in my PC machine for smooth, non-poppy/crackly solution playback and WAV rendering (really, apparently not), it was apparent that some posters here have good technical background.

So, another question:

I decided to upgrade my utility system on which I had BIAB, and upgraded to win 7 on an AMD 8-core FX CPU, 8 gigs 1600 ram, and a 128 gig SSD to run the OS, and my most frequent smallish programs.

So today, I went to Micro Center and bought a Toshiba 1 TB sata 3 hard disk drive for media, that the tech guy there said was pretty fast with read/write.

My question is, isn't it possible to put the core BIAB executables (guts) onto the SSD, and put all the invoked real-tracks and other midi files (the 60 GB) on the new HDD?

For that matter, does it really improve things like speed of solutions and clear play-back and WAV rendering if BIAB core resides on the SSD? Will having to pull the RealTracks off the HDD be a bottleneck anyway, such that I should just install the whole thing on the HDD for simplicity?

Obviously, I will store my rendered WAV file creations on the big platter drive...

Please advise, thanks!

Jim
