I am exploring upgrading from a 2008 Mac Pro and I am considering a Mac Mini but not sure what to use in terms of extra Ernal storage and I am wondering if I really need to go to a separate drive for audio and a separate drive for my virtual instrument library or if I could get by with a single large 2 TB Connected via thunderbolt three or in an external hard disk in closure and use a combination of as SSD drives and Sata drives that I could take out of my Mac Pro. I have some very large virtual instrument library us including everything from spectra sonics, komplete 12, Synthogy ivory, arturio V, Superior drummer 3 and studio one 3 Pro looking to upgrade to 4. My current 2008 Mac Pro has a 2 TB fusion Drive for my programs that is roughly half full but could use some cleanup and I have a 2 TB drive for soft cents and a 1 TB drive for audio files and a 3 TB backup drive all of the internal to the Mac Pro. I cannot seem to find anything on any of the threads that talk about the ideal hardest configuration to use for large virtual instrument library’s and the pros and cons of a single large SSD or a mixture of SSD and fusion drives or an extra North under ball enclosure running raid.
