That's how it may be and/or should and once samples are written to the SSD, those samples should be read only, so no more writing to the drive, unless adding more samples and then back to just the drive being a read from again. (I think?)
Interesting Site, Pretty Cool!!!
Peace b1
Modern SSD internal flash media can handle 10,000 to 100,000 rewrites. As a rule, SSD and flash drive built-in controllers monitor the re-writing of the internal flash media and move the data automatically when the rewrite count starts getting near the limit. There is built in spare media to cover this eventuality. There are many articles on the web debunking the limited rewrite myth such as this one: techreport.com/review/27909/the-ssd-endurance-experiment-theyre-all-dead"The first lesson came quickly. All of the drives surpassed their official endurance specifications by writing hundreds of terabytes without issue. Delivering on the manufacturer-guaranteed write tolerance wouldn't normally be cause for celebration, but the scale makes this achievement important. Most PC users, myself included, write no more than a few terabytes per year. Even 100TB is far more endurance than the typical consumer needs" www.cnet.com/how-to/how-ssds-solid-state-drives-work-increase-lifespan/"So how long is long? To help users estimate how long an SSD will last, most SSD manufacturers present the drive's endurance by the amount of data that can be written to the drive. For example, the 750GB Crucial MX300 has an endurance of 220TBW, meaning you can write 220 terabytes of data to the drive before it becomes unreliable. To put this in perspective, if you write 50GB of data per day every day to the drive, it will take you some 12 years to wear it out. Most other SSDs have similar or better endurance ratings. Generally the larger the drive, the higher he endurance." Bottom line, you can generally ignore this potential problem. Yes Samsung 850 EVO 250GB = 75TBW, EVO 500GB = 150TBW
The info. links you provided (techreport.com) I've read before but not the cnet (thank you)!
I'm I correct to think the controller in the SSD decides when Trim runs ( I caught the bios part that I it could be in the mix too, I think?) Will Trim work on each SSD independent of each SSD?
I think what I would to do with Drive Setup is this: (In AHCI Mode or Raid 1 for HDD Backup) A 250GB SSD for OS+Programs, a 250GB SSD for dedicated Audio Tracking, Mixing Drive a 250GB SSD for a dedicated VST Sample Library, a 500GB SSD for a dedicated for Video Editing, a 1 TB WD Black HDD for Audio Backup, a 1TB WD Black HDD for Page File, Media Cache, Temp, Downloads, etc., and one 4TB WD BLACK for Backup of everything. Possibly pick up another 4TB for a Raid 1.
Can all this be done on one SSD and to always send to HDD Backup? Or What? Please forgive me!!!
Thank You: b1

Machine looks plenty powerful enough for your needs, I can't imagine any slowdown on that from. As arnyk said, SSD will measure superior in all respects, but that all has to do with thru-put speed. Will SSD's make your audio playback or editing sound better, Nope not a bit. Will SSD's make your video playback or editing have a better pictures, Nope, not a bit. So again, it all will boils down to editing speed vs cost per gig. I run a few Western Blacks here for my audio/video/backup storage needs and they perform admirably. The OS is on the SSD. Why not run your rig with the Blacks you already have and see if they slow you down any in your editing work. If they do, fine, get some big SSD's If not save your money. 2 TB of Black runs about $100, 2 TB of SSD runs about $600+ At 6x the price they better offer some "real world" improvement in my working needs for my wallet. YMMV
Hey sal1950, just wanted to touch back with you on something here! if I may? Thanks In Advance!
When you say: [I run a few Western Blacks here for my audio/video/backup storage needs and they perform admirably.] How are you doing your HDD's, is each drive separate, one for audio, one for video or is video in raid 0 with two or more HDD's perhaps and then your drive(s) for backup for your needs? In other words what's your drive setup please.
Why not run your rig with the Blacks you already have and see if they slow you down any in your editing work.

There is validity to your words!!!
Thanks Again, Peace b1

My personal needs for storage are very modest and shrinking, mostly consisting of my audio music library, some movies, stored educational videos, etc. Plus quite a bit of Linux ISO's, files, rpm packages etc. For the most part their growth has become very small with the advent of streaming music like Spotify, coupled with my retirement from the Linux development team I was involved with. I have 3 1tb WD Black HDs formatted Linux EXT3 with my OS on the OCZ SSD. One drive is my working drive for everything and is an internal in my tower. The other 2 are external and used as backups. I'm old and they're maintained in a old fashion way and the one I trust most, manually with a rsync terminal command. One I keep next to the computer and turn it on/rsync about once a week or two. The other I keep at my friends place down the road and bring it home to rsync every couple months. I keep promising a cloud backup but just procrastinate it to death. I don't think there's much for you to learn from this modest application but there it is.
