Ability to re-save with samples of patches from protected libraries.Ĥ. Ability to edit patches of protected libraries.ģ. Activation of protected libraries is not required, the ability to register (add to bookmarks) in batch mode.Ģ. The next generation of the world’s favorite sampling platform gives you new instruments and new features under the hood – so you can layer, link, stretch, and shape your sounds any way you can imagine.ġ. It’s a simple sampler when you want it to be, and a deep sonic scripting laboratory when you need something more. My backups take a bit longer but it's more manageable.With KONTAKT 6, you can sound like a snare drum, a symphony orchestra, or anything in between, from a universe of sampled instruments. I use very large old school hard drives for the backups personally. I usually don't buy the same brand/model either. One for the data and one to backup the data. And I also recommend always buy drives in groups of two. I'd say 1TB is the minimum I'd use for a sample drive. Libraries are only going to get bigger and bigger. (OK I've been at this for 20+ years and never let anything go).

My NI content directory is more than 2.2TB. In any case I'd recommend getting the largest fastest drive you can to store your NI instruments on. The right combination there can get you very high speeds.

But right now the hot ticket is NVMe drives. USB3.1 and Thunderbolt may beat internal SATA3 connections. Hooking that same drive to an internal SATA port will almost always get better performance though, USB3 isn't as good as SATA for discs. If you have good USB3 ports and a good external USB3 container and a good SSD drive, you may get decent performance. That awesome fast USB3 SSD external drive hooked to the wrong port (or the right port configured wrong) will still work but be dog slow. Internal SATA and NVMe devices don't have many fall backs, so they either work at the right speed or don't work at all. USB external devices have so many supported fall back modes they often under perform for reasons you may not be able to see. Actual performance of any external (or internal) drive is a combination of so many factors it isn't funny.
