I've seen posts on other forums where someone will make the claim that sample drives should not be defragmented. I always assumed this to be wrong, but I recently defagmented one of my VSL sample drives for the first time and found that my load times have significantly increased. Since I wasn't expecting this I have no hard data, but I'm definitely drinking more coffee while waiting for my project to come up.
Is this possible or should I be looking for another cause?
My system:
64 bit Vista
64 bit Cubase 5.0.1
This particular project is using multiple VIs and not VE. All Vienna and Syncrosoft software is patched to the latest revision.
Thanks,
John
