The new computer will replace the base Max that I had from March 18th until April 1st. I've ordered a 2TB drive because it lets me do the latter. It's a matter of whether you're OK with being tied to the umbilical cord of external drives or want to cut the cord, except for backup, and are prepared to pay to do it. I don't think that this is a performance issue. Will it be an improvement to have my samples and project files all on the same internal drive compared to spreading it on external ones? But since I can't put the blades in the Mac Studio, I'm down to using only the internal drive or use external ones. Right now I have all my samples and project files stored on different PCIe NVME blades in my old Mac Pro 5,1. Is that still the case or are Apple's new drives so fast, that it doesn't matter anymore and having one drive with everything on it is just fine? So far I've been told, that everything except the OS and applications should be on separate drives (project files / samples / media etc.), because having just one drive do the heavy lifting throttles its performance. I'm a composer and run lots of sample based virtual instruments, which require a good 4k random read speed to keep the loading times small and prevent hiccups during playback. I'm in for buying a Mac Studio and as additional storage is expensive as always with Apple, I was wondering if it is worth the money.
