Hi, I am using a Crucial P3 Plus SSD 4TB, M.2 PCIe Gen4 NVMe in a Thunderbolt enclosure Anyoyo TBU401Pro. Afaik this is an Acasis brand.
The official r/w speed of the Crucial SSD are 4800MB/s / 4100MB/s.
I know that these values are Marketing…
When connected to my laptop (Dell XPS, Win 11 Pro) through TB3 I can measure c 3000 MB/s for Read with CrystalDiskMark. But only c 500 MB/s for Write. While Read is pretty good, the values for Write are below e.g. Samsung T7 USB 3.2. so very disappointing!
Here is The QUESTION: when using Sample libraries like Komplete 14 from an external SSD, i.e. loading instruments/samples into my DAW (S1/Cubase): are the READ speed of the SSD the relevant metrics? If yes, I could live with the setup as once I’ve installed the libraries on the disk I‘d be fine with the 3000 MB/s read speed. If, however, WRITE speeds also play a role for this use case, I will need to change the setup…
Thx!
