using halion

I have to have all the samples loaded in ram as if I have say pads or strings streaming it stutters..Is this cos I need a better hard drive..? everythings fine if I have the samples say 10 seconds loaded into ram..but this obviously uses loads of ram..? whats a really good hard drive for audio..and whats optimal set-up of my system in general for audio..? i.e in bios and cubase system settings etc..?

Dunno, you could try and fiddle with the Cubase buffer size or number of buffers (in SX/L goto Device Setup->VST Multitrack). Beyond this I can't really comment because I haven't got HALion. You might also consider the upgrade to HALion v2 which has just been released, you never know, they may have improved the disk access???

If you want disk drive performance you need a RAID array (i.e. more than one drive) - but you need hardware that supports that, and you need two drives. Many modern motherboards have RAID support, so it may be an option - read your system documentation!

Without RAID you just need a disk drive that can seek quickly and transfer data fast. One of the best places to read about hard drives is Storage Review
