Hello guys, I´m using Ableton Live 10.1.14 64 bit on Windows 10 1909 x64 on a brand new assembled computer with this components:

CPU I7 9700K

Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 16 DDR4 3200 RAM

Operating system + sample library disk Samsung 970 Evo

Sapphire RX 580 8GB GPU

I have about 500GB samples (also with Kontakt libraries) and when browsing inside ableton to search and listen preview a sound, it takes quite long time to open the folder and to reproduce the files. In those moments also the computer seems to hang. Anywone experiences something like this?
Do you think that is necessary to separate the OS on a new SSD and keep then the library on the actual drive?
I don´t know honestly if in 2020 I expect too much from a 970 Evo! I thought it can run operating system + DAW and still have a decent fast response while browsing samples.

Thank you for your help!

Cheers

 

I've given you your answer on the other, identical thread you started...a minute after this one.
You don't need to spam AS with multiple threads.

 

Look bro... very simple solution - install keep your programs on your operating system drive and keep your samples etc on a separate drive - that's it.
Keep Apps and samples separate

 

Here is my set up which works perfectly for me

1TB SSD - OS drive (with applications)
500GB SSD - Samples, Loops, Acapellas etc and audio projects
500GB SSD - Kontakt libraries, other sound libraries

2TB HDD - Backups, less often used files (videos, tutorials, documents)
