    If I have a secondary 1 tb SSD with all the VSL samples,  is it a good idea to put MIR on that also, or should MIR go on the main hard drive which is a 7200 rpm platter HDD?

    Perhaps the best thing would be to upgrade the C: OS drive to an SSD and have MIR on it? Or maybe it doesn't matter to split up MIR and the samples?  I am going for more efficiency in CPU/RAM etc. as I have had stuttering/polyphony/cpu problems with large orchestral setups doing massive dynamic changes, etc. 

    This is on win7 64 pro, i7 920, 24 gb ram

    William, AFAIK it doesn't matter, because MIR doesn't stream. It loads the IRs into memory, so once you are loaded up, there is only the usual disc activity that happens when a program is open.

    Dear William,

    for MIR Pro it doesn't make a real difference whether its RoomPacks reside on the system HD or on a secondary drive, as long as the file-paths are valid. The actual loading of the raw impulse responses will be a bit faster when using SSDs, no doubt, but as there is no direct-from-disk-streaming involved, the overall benefit is not nearly as recognizable as it is in case of samples.

    HTH,
