Yep good points…its all getting confusing with all the various processors.
Thats why i look up passmark ratings on cpubenchmark.net.
There is a very looooong but interesting thread on gearspace.com bout building a recording pc….
https://gearspace.com/board/music-computers/560019-quot-today-we-build-our-studio-pc-quot-thread.htmlOver 500 pages…go to the latest few pages….cos thread has gone over a long time.
Steve.
To clarify i never partition. I use physically separate ssd’s cos dirt cheap.
Tho’ i know other people have had a ssd fail. I never have even tho’ i use em’ tons.
(never had an old tech drive fail either.)
Steve i know ya got a superb pc…is it pcie 3 version only ??
Frankly i still get lured back to monster refurb HPZ//lenovo//dell off lease workstations…lol…but the older pcie aspect has me concerned.
What i still love bout em’ is often they are superb monsters ideal for daw and are expandable and ive seen em’ as low as a few hundred bucks with 1 year warranties.
My ‘refurb guy’ sells loads of refurbs. Never put me wrong yet…and sets em’ up to be really fast // boots etc.
Best
