Korg is taking so bloody long to launch the austrian piano and karo ...phew karo's got not even audio demos
Well, I´m working a lot with Audio Backingfiles - Like this, with the bigger SSD, I´m able to store all the Songs we use... It wasn´t possible with the smaller SSD...

And for Editor and Soundpacks, I´m convinced, they will be released "just in time" for the January NAMM Show... Just be patient ! :D

fyi: a 200+ may not work. I tried two different 256gb and they both hung in the middle of formatting at the same place (progress bar just under the W). I let it sit for 2 hours the first time, just in case. No love.

SATA II or SATA III Drives ?

Both. Personally I think the jury is still out on the SATA 3 interface. It might be down to how good the backward compatibility is. Especially since I got the same reaction from both drives (meaning not the typical sata 3 failure others are seeing). But, that's just a gut feeling, I'm not saying anyone is wrong (and I probably am wrong).

Boot time : 2 min 13 sec :? (no change)
Free space : 96 Go (full install 1.06 + upgrade to 1.5) :lol:

Not really a fantastic "upgrade" from the default boot time, which is about 2:15 IIRC.
