  1. The best motherboard 2019: the top Intel and AMD motherboards we've seen

    I agree. I'm planning a new build for audio production. I have never played a video game in my life, but it seems most motherboards target gamers. And a lot of bad reviews I see complain about things like the RGB lighting, which I have no interest in.
  2. Will installing a PCIe SATA III card improve SSD performance?

    Thanks for clarifying. I was strictly talking about audio recording/playback latency: On my last box (i7 930 @ 2.8 GHz w/ 16 GB RAM as opposed to i7 960 @ 3.20 GHz w/ 24 GB RAM) I did occasionally have problems with audio recording/playback latency. Now I never do. On another (audio) forum...
  3. Will installing a PCIe SATA III card improve SSD performance?

    Thanks--this is useful. So my OS drive stays on the SATA2 port. And since latency will be lower on the SATA2, then that's preferable as well. I have no problems with latency now (knock on wood). But in terms of the Pro Tools project files that live on an HDD connected to the SATA, would those...
  4. Will installing a PCIe SATA III card improve SSD performance?

    This is where it keeps going around and around. Some people maintain that an SSD will perform better on the onboard SATA II than on a PCI-E card.
  5. Will installing a PCIe SATA III card improve SSD performance?

    Thanks for all this. The original reason I posted was to explore ways to improve performance specifically running Pro Tools. Pro Tools and the associated libraries are installed on my Samsung 840 Pro boot drive, which is connected to the onboard SATA II controller. The project files (which one...
  6. Will installing a PCIe SATA III card improve SSD performance?

    Thanks for the article. So in practical terms, what would this mean?
  7. Will installing a PCIe SATA III card improve SSD performance?

    So going back to the original question, if I have PCI-E 2 and I install a PCI-E SATA III card (which won't perform like a III), what will be faster: a drive connected to the PCI-E card or to the motherboard's SATA II port? I believe the latter, right?
  8. Will installing a PCIe SATA III card improve SSD performance?

    My motherboard is circa 2010: Manufacturer Dell Inc. Model 05DN3X (CPU 1) Version A00 Chipset Vendor Intel Chipset Model X58 Chipset Revision 13 Southbridge Vendor Intel Southbridge Model 82801JR (ICH10R) Southbridge Revision 00 I read this on wikipedia: PCI Express 3.0 Base...
  9. Will installing a PCIe SATA III card improve SSD performance?

    Thanks for all your help--I've learned a lot about this issue!
  10. Will installing a PCIe SATA III card improve SSD performance?

    Actually I already have the $30 card installed, but right now I have two external data drives connected to it. I could move one of those to USB 3 and open up an internal SATA slot or go with an M.2. I had no idea that having the project files on an SSD would make any difference whatsoever. I...
  11. Will installing a PCIe SATA III card improve SSD performance?

    I'm limited on internal bays and SATA slots, but I could conceivably reconfigure to open up an internal SATA slot. Or I could go with an M.2, but have no experience with those. A 500 GB SSD would give me enough space to move my most frequently accessed work-related documents as well and have...
  12. Will installing a PCIe SATA III card improve SSD performance?

    I'm guilty of following the dedicated drive theory, which is considered a must on the certain music software forums. I'm not wild about having any data on my boot drive. SSDs are cheap enough that I could actually get a Samsung EVO like this...
  13. Will installing a PCIe SATA III card improve SSD performance?

    Thanks for all the details, Dave. Great to know--thanks. When I maxed out my RAM last year to 24 GB I saw a huge jump in performance. Program and samples/loops libraries are on the SSD. Project files (.ptx etc) are on the HDD. I assume you mean a second SSD, right? That is doable since...
  14. Will installing a PCIe SATA III card improve SSD performance?

    Thanks for clarifying; I'm basing this mostly only what I have been told. Right now I run PT 11.3 (not HD and no video). I do typically have a lot of tracks (a recent project had 25) and I do use a fair number of plugins. The only time I notice any issues is if, for example, I'm working on...
  15. Will installing a PCIe SATA III card improve SSD performance?

    My understanding is that in my case, with a board that has SATA II, using a SATA III PCI-E card will still be affected by the limitations of the motherboard. I actually have one of these cards in this system already, which I got to connect desktop drives that are in external cases, so I could...
  16. Will installing a PCIe SATA III card improve SSD performance?

    Thanks to all for the responses. I've been using Pro Tools for a few years now and for a year on my current setup. Getting a "$25-30" controller (like a StarTech) was suggested as a way of vastly improving performance when using Pro Tools (actually I never have any issues). I doubted this and...
  17. Will installing a PCIe SATA III card improve SSD performance?

    Hoping to settle a question that came up on another forum. I have a Dell Studio XPS 9100. The basic specs appear below. I am a user of Pro Tools 11.3, a professional-level DAW. Another Pro Tools user suggested that I should install a PCIe SATA III 6.0 GB card and connect my boot drive to...
  18. Best router choice for wired (ethernet) devices

    Thanks--I will check these out.
  19. Best router choice for wired (ethernet) devices

    My Linksys WRT54GS appears to finally be dying: It has provided excellent service for 9 years. I'm looking to replace it and read the "Best WiFi Router" string here (http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2434362), but I don't believe in hijacking threads and have a somewhat different...
  20. Partitioning a 4 TB desktop drive

    Thanks--this is very, very helpful. I am always very organized when doing clean installs on any of my machines; I have folders with the drivers I installed. I checked and it appears I did install the correct drivers from the Intel site. Nothing else changed. I only followed the procedures for...
  21. Partitioning a 4 TB desktop drive

    I did initialize as GPT. Machine just froze and would never boot while the 4 TB drive was in there. Here's what happened: Upon physically installing the drive, Windows recognized the drive and indicated that it needed to be initialized. After initializing as GPT, I selected Quick Format as a...
  22. Partitioning a 4 TB desktop drive

    I have the latest BIOS for my machine, but it's an older machine (Dell Studio XPS 9100). From speccy: Operating System Windows 7 Professional 64-bit SP1 CPU Intel Core i7 930 @ 2.80GHz 68 °C Bloomfield 45nm Technology RAM 24.0GB Triple-Channel DDR3 @ 666MHz (9-9-9-24) Motherboard...
  23. Partitioning a 4 TB desktop drive

    I run Win 7 Pro, 64-bit, SP 1. I'm gearing up to reconfigure my storage drives and replace my old and small backup drives [all data is on non-OS drives and I do redundant backups for everything]. I've been using an HGST 4 TB in an external case as a data [not backup] drive and am considering...
  24. Good and reliable External HD?

    Can you share which one you prefer?
  25. <$500 sub recommendations?

    Thanks for your reply. A few people replied who have subs in the $500 range.
  26. <$500 sub recommendations?

    Is there any sonic reason something cannot sit on top of a subwoofer? I'm trying to make this as invisible to my wife as possible. There's a small Parsons table that has a small lamp on top of it in the spot where I want to put the sub. If I move the table I'm hoping I can put the lamp on...
  27. <$500 sub recommendations?

    This is exactly what I feared as soon as I realized it would fit on the same side of the room as the mains (and that I could, with a little rearranging, accommodate two). Yikes. Thanks for the warning!
  28. <$500 sub recommendations?

    Thanks for your insight. My previous sub was too big to fit on the same side as the mains; with this one I'll first try it to the right of the right main (not in the corner of the room, but in the corner of the listening area) simply because it works better logistically. I can try it to the left...
  29. <$500 sub recommendations?

    Will do that. I think generally it's preferred to have the sub on the same side as the mains (especially for music), but we'll see. Thanks for your reply.
  30. <$500 sub recommendations?

    I ordered the SVS SB-1000 today. It occurred to me that because this has a smaller footprint than the sub it is replacing, that factor opens up more options for placement. I do realize that there are a lot of factors involved, but in general, is is better to have the sub on the same side...
  31. <$500 sub recommendations?

    Thanks so much for providing the link: I ordered it.
  32. <$500 sub recommendations?

    OK--thanks.
  33. <$500 sub recommendations?

    Thanks for your reply. I'm probably going to go with the SB-1000 because of the general consensus that sealed is better than ported for music as well as my preference for a smaller footprint. SVS customer service also recommended this one based on my audio system specs and general listening...
  34. <$500 sub recommendations?

    This is all great advice--thanks so much.
  35. <$500 sub recommendations?

    Thanks. Although this system is technically 'home theater' my wife and I never watch movies that require a heavy hitting sub (no explosions, etc.: our tastes are more cerebral, movie-wise). But for music I listen to a lot of reggae and dub, so it's important. With my previous sub I used a...
  36. <$500 sub recommendations?

    How does the SVS SB-1000 (sealed) compare to the SVS PB-1000 (ported)? From what I've read it seems that sealed is more suited for music and ported for home theater. Is this accurate?
  37. <$500 sub recommendations?

    Thanks. I love my JBL fronts, but was never too thrilled with the Venue sub. I saw references to the SVS PB-1000, but again, don't know that brand. Thanks for steering me away from this.
  38. <$500 sub recommendations?

    I'm shopping for a new subwoofer to go with my rather old but trusty Kenwood receiver/JBL speaker system. Here's what I have: Kenwood VR-6070 receiver Speakers: Front: JBL Studio S38II Front center: JBL ES25CCH Rear: JBL 2 way 4 in Rear center: JBL N24II I have a JBL Venue Sub12, but it...
  39. HGST Deskstar vs WD CB 4 TB

    Thanks, rsutoratosu. Yes, it's in my basket @ B&H. On March 30 they will have the WD CB 3 TB, but that'll be $250. I think I should grab this.
