i have bought a new crucial drive and its fast

 

Time is money. If you lose money when you finish your job late, you should buy it. Otherwise, it's not necessary.

 

Yeah, pcie 4.0 nvme is like the limit for meaningful improvement to loading times (over SATA SSD) in Kontakt. Beyond that, drives like this benefit video editing most, not any sort of audio handling.

 

It will launch Windws 0,5 sec before you press "Power On".

 

Nope. Just as good as it gets atm i suppose, mainly for pros and tech enthusiasts with enough money to spend. If there's a 4 tb model it will be excellent for the Kontakt heavy libs too. On my list

 

Sylvester represents the detractors and Speedy Gonzales the 9100 Pro NVME. The crowd in the stadium those happy for the release.

 

Fast, yes—but expensive; it currently costs around 500 euros. Do you really need it? No!
More for people who are in a swinging frenzy and have too much cash in the safe.

 

I wonder if anyone's tested (well, Kontakt has been mentioned, but other similar software probably applies as well) at what point the library loading becomes CPU bound, as the samples have to be decoded first anyway.

 

Maybe the Samsung 990 PRO SSD will become cheaper.

 

THIS is the only useful thing about the 9100's release.

 

(IMO) A backup software and related hardware is valuable the same; backup 1st then one or more overkill NVME
