[QUOTE="robduckyworth, post: 1198113, member: 184879"] are you referring to an SSD? these are solid state drives: they use solid state memory instead of the magnetic platters used in "non-SSDs". the advantages: they are faster, (boot time is significantly increased, as is app loading times) more reliable (no moving parts) and lighter. the disadvantages: high price/size ratio. very expensive for a high capacity drive. bad caretaking of a magnetic drive can result in hard drive failure - knocks, kicks etc. if hes using thsi machine live, his data is at a greater risk. Rob Swire will be using a magnetic hard drive so that he has more space for his Sampler instruments, Loops/Samples etc. alot of producers like this to be on the local drive. - its more reliable for when running sessions.
