using SSD drive with libraries

hi!
i have to purchase a new disk for my OS (win7) and i'm thinking about a SSD drive.
i have 2 partitions to handle (one "standard win7" and one dedicated to audio) so a 120 GB SSD could work (60 GB each partition are more than enough.

but, at the same, I thought about buying a 256 GB drive: in this way i can setup a 128 GB partition for kontakt samples...
i use studio drummer a lot, and this should be the most "heavy" libray i have.

for now i do not have streaming problems, everything works just fine with a standard HDD, but i would like to know impressions and test with K5 on an SSD drive...
thx!

 

K5 works great with SSDs, but if at all possible, it would be much better to dedicate a separate SSD just for system, and separate just for libraries.

 

thanks
In any case I will partition it!

 

Partitioning won't make any difference at all. Why not just create a folder called Kontakt Samples and put things in that? That way you're not locked to specific sizes for either partition you were going to create.

 

it's my way to organize stuff... and in this way i can maybe create a copy of the OS partition for backup

 

Partitioning makes no sense whatsoever with SSDs. You just lose valuable space on it on formatting tables. Don't do it.

 

OK...but it provides no benefit whatsoever.

Like I said, a dedicated folder does the exact same thing. Except that with a folder, you're not confined to a pre-determined partition size.

 

ok, i didn't know that!
but at least i have to create 2 different partitions for 2 different win7 installation...

 

Then get two smaller SSDs.

Partitions are old tech. They are absolutely not needed anymore.
