| Sally Walkowiak 07.08.2012 | I believe a big advantage of SSD over a traditional hard drive is that vibrations cannot screw it up. |
| Addie Engbrecht 07.08.2012 | Just a few points. I have fairly large collection of songs saved in folders that are sorted by their genre (Hip Hop, reggae, reggaeton, pop, etc). Everytime I would open up a folder, it would take a decent amount of time (15-30 secs depending) for the full collection to load w/ all info. At times I can be mixing in and out of songs fairly quickly, that 15-30 secs I'm waiting for it to load is valuable time I coulda be using to possibly make a better song selection, a better cue selection within the song, a tighter beat match, etc. With a SSD, the most I wait is maybe 5 secs at max. Also with a SSD, you are a lot less likely to damage the drive during transportation while it's off, or even while it's on if you're laptop were to fall off the stand or stage or whatever. Also no need to worry about damaging it because you placed it too close to the magnet of a speaker. Not saying everyone should go out and buy one, but I dont ever believe I remember anyone that has bought one saying "what a waist of money". They usually say " I never want to use a HDD again", that includes myself |

| Jenise Kryszak 07.08.2012 | Maybe if your laptop crashes and you have to restart it would help. Boot up time and opening up traktor would take seconds lol |
| Stanley Topoleski 08.08.2012 | 200 tracks in ableton SSD is a must 2 decks in traktor sata is just fine... SDD is similasr to ram modules. the drives do not have spinning disks thus are extremely fast. if you want to start up your machine in seconds and load files and sounds quickly then SSD is for you, for most Djing purposes its all that necessary |
| Celine Surico 08.08.2012 | Put your boot drive to SSD and have smiles all day long. |
| Rosina Steinkuehler 07.08.2012 | SSDs are great and all but songs are so small I am not sure how much of a improvement it will bring "while" DJing. It's going to cause programs to launch a lot faster and the machine will run more smoothly but I question if a SSD will improve the DJing experience. I say this because I see no difference when loading songs via the network or via SSD on my MBP. Hope this helps! PS: as a overall upgrade SSDs are fantastic. |
