memory well, no, you need lots more than with 10.

That's a predictor of CPU needs, disk space needs, etc. Your best crude guide for your to start at is your understanding how your current sessions are running on the hardware you have. It's not our money and we have *no* clue what your financial tradeoffs are. Ideally get a computer with an i7 or i9 CPU and fastest graphics you can afford.Īnswers here are likely to end up in 'max out the systems'. Repatriate your current HDD for backup drives or bookends. Ancient rules about dedicated audio drives do not apply to these super-fast NVMe internal SSDs, and your system will run *worse* with slow dedicated drives. Unless you need huge disk space for samples, stick them on that boot drive as well. That is much better performance than any HDD, and most other SSD you can get. Ideally you can put audio/session on that boot drive. Don't get a hybrid drive (as already mentioned). Get the largest internal SSD you can afford.

Folks have already given you basic recommendations.
