Nas storage device?

[tomrip]

Hello all. I’m setting up a 10 gig network in my house. We are getting 7 gig fiber next week. I was looking at network storage devices, and was there bking of getting a 8 bay and. It has a 10 gig network adapter. If I got a 10 gig network adapter for my computer, would I have any issues loading my too track library in the network drive? Would it cause any issues? Thanks in advance.

I would say compare the “real world” data transfer rates of the 10 Gbit NIC and a local fast SSD.  Then translate those rates to times based on transfers of 2-10 GB of data from disk to memory.  Not a perfect comparison, but would give you ballpark comparisons.  Personally I would not use labelled or quoted transfer speeds, only those from true full-system tests, as there are so many variables at play and these numbers can have serious dependencies (eg. the ability to get high speeds from a 10 Gbit NIC depends on the performance of the PCIe bus it is plugged into, just as SSD performance depends on the port it is connected to, the enclosure hardware and even the cable).

Superior Drummer 3 version: 3.4.2
Operating system: macOS Tahoe (26)

as I understand it, samples are loaded into RAM and run from there, not from storage.
data transfer speeds would only affect the speed at which samples are loaded into RAM.

What Scott said. You can have the slowest performance on the network (or drives for that matter) and it won’t affect Superior Drummer since everything is in RAM. Your only factor here is loading time.
