Hi,

since all samples used are loaded into RAM, the USB speed only matters when you load a library. I.e. there is no disk streaming.
Make sure you have sufficient RAM.

2 x 3.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Running El Capitan, OSX 10.11.6 with 16Gb RAM, about to increase it to 24Gb.
I don’t want to add too much because of heating issues.

AND, I have just found I can also insert USB 3.1 X 2 with PCIe card.

You won’t believe what I throw at her….two 2TB hard drives and one 3TB hard drive and another hard drive of 4TB.
She just keeps going and going…….
