Moving libraries to external SSD

[jonah66]

Hi all, i have a 1 TB SSD arriving tomorrow and i want to make sure i know the correct procedure for moving all my SDX’s on to it. From what I’ve read so far, i  move the entire core library and all SDX’s from internal drive to the SSD, then fire up SD3, goto the libraries tab and edit the paths to point to the new location. Also, do i need to edit the paths in product manager? and lastly, my SD3 install is about 520GB, would it be beneficial to reinstall to the SSD instead of leaving it run off my internal HD? Thanks in advance <3

Just drag the folders over if they are SDX. The harder ones are EZX. You can do the same with the SD3 library as well. How are you connecting the SSD drive? It should be faster than a spinning disk although I suppose it depends on the way you connect it. If it’s a desktop I would have it internal on a sata interface.

SD3 with older sdx,s plus Rooms of Hansa and Death & Darkness. Cubase and wavelab current versions. Roland TD50x using all trigger inputs for triggering SD3 only. Windows 11 computer. Various keyboards and outboard gear as well as VST instruments. Acoustic drums: Yamaha 9000 natural wood and Pearl masters. Various snare drums. RME BabyFace Pro FS and Adam A7X monitors
