NVMe Storage = connectivity via PCIe controller.

Solid-State Drive - connectivity via SATA3 controller.

Hard Drive = Standard spindle technology 7,200rpm.

Optional Storage Drive (Hard Drive) - For the larger sound libraries, the traditional platter hard drive is a good choice as they are still much cheaper per GB than SSDs. For traditional spindle hard drives, having your sessions and samples on separate drives can at times improve performance. Optional Tertiary Drive - Samples (SSD/ Hard Drive) - The performance of one SSD can support both the sessions and samples. Secondary Drive - Sessions (SSD/Hard Drive) - If possible, it is a good idea to separate your project files and disk cache onto a secondary drive. An SSD is highly recommended as it will greatly improve how fast the OS and programs startup. Primary Drive - OS/Software (SSD) - Includes your operating system, the base Pro Tools / Logic Pro installation, and your plug-ins. In general, we recommend a two to four hard drive configuration depending on your budget and desired performance level:
