Tech Q: r/w speeds important to SD3 performance?

[ChadwickDunderc0ck]

I just upgraded my 2019 iMac M.2 NVMe card to 2tb. It gets over 3000 r/w speeds now. For space and faster load times I have my sd3 kits on an external thunderbolt instead of that garbage fusion non-sense.

Is it worth moving the kits to the main drive for performance when working in a DAW?

Thanks

**if YES where is the default directory they would install too? I’ll just move them so any new kits I buy will to go there by default.**

Superior Drummer 3 version: 3.1.7
Operating system: macOS Catalina (10.15)

Nope. AFAIK, SD3 and the selected library are loaded into RAM.

Thanks that what I though! Appreciate the response.
