I need a 2TB external drive to stream my very large sample libraries for use with virtual instruments (Ivory 2, Large Orchestral Kontakt libraries, spectrasonics etc.).
It's high bandwidth time critical data streaming with I suspect lots of reliance on burst speeds? I'm not sure how this works, and I'm wondering if USB3's latency i've been hearing about on these forums affects this kind of use to the point where it's not much faster than FW800?
If USB3 isn't a significant improvement on FW800 then I may have to look at the more expensive external SSD Thunderbolt options.
