Hi all, I’m getting a new Mac Pro 2019 model soon and was wondering if anyone had dealt with adding PCIe M2 NVMe drives. With my current machine I had a SSD drive for recording on one Thunderbolt port, and another drive on a separate Thunderbolt port for streaming libraries for virtual instruments. Then the main system drive ran the actual programs.
I’m looking to go with internal drives now. Cards like the SonnetTech 4x4 PCIe card can take 4 M.2 ssds and says it dedicates x4 lanes for each SSD. I’m thinking one SSD for recording, another for library streaming, then the other 1 or 2 just for storage.
So my question is would that be good for recording and streaming virtual libraries at the same time on 1 PCIe bus, or should I get 2 individual cards to keep separate on 2 different PCIe busses? Hope that makes sense?
