It should be written next to the video description.

It's Death and the healing by Wintersun.
If you like it I suggest you look further for this band, i've been a metalhead for many years now and I can tell I don't know other band that can deliver as much magic.

I made a little video to show how to upgrade to 4BG RAM. I just did it recently and it's actually quite safe if you know how to use both your hands, assuming you do so if you have a Kronos =)

good vid. For the 88, the only difference is you remove all the screws that go into the wood bottom except the 4 screws that hold the rubber feet on. There is no bar.

...at least that's what someone told me. I wouldn't know because I'd never open mine up!

Now, you just need to swap the SSD by a $279 OWC 120 GB SSD, the new Extreme Pro 6G, and it might reduce the boot and loading time by 4 Smile

I'm just thinking out loud...

Here's the OWC page: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/Mercury_6G/

You can still try with a 240 or 480 GB, but it might be too expensive now and not very useful now... But if we can convert some Sample Libraries (Kontakt format) in Akai or SF2 to use them with the Kronos, then it could be interesting to consider a bigger drives....

Again, just thinking out loud...

I'm gone Smile

PS: For whom's wondering, here's some benchmark and speed test (it's done on a MacMini, but it still gives an idea of the speed):

http://blog.macsales.com/11258-by-the-numbers-what-can-an-owc-6g-ssd-do-for-your-2011-mac-mini

With a Extreme 6G SSD, you can literally read 210 MB/s, so you could load 1 GB EXs in 5 seconds Smile

I'm out of here now Smile

If the data bus cannot keep up with its bandwidth, you'll never get that maximum of 210 MB/s in real life. And I presume that's the reason Kronos' boot time is that slow (Kronos also has an older generation SSD inside, most likely).

Atom Motherboards use SATA II 3Gb/s ports, which allow 300 MB/s bandwidth per port... well enough to handle the SSD.

I'm a computer nerd... which is thinking about building a Raid SSD MacMini Server to reach the 995 MB/s and then be able to load 1GB Sample Library in a second only...

That should be fast enough to load huge Kontakt, Eastwest and Spectrasonics libraries in almost "realtime" Smile

No need for that. See OCZ RevoDrives. PCI-X SSDs Wink

OK, that's hardware. Is there anything software (OS) related that needs to be done to support full bandwidth of the SATA bus?

Nothing more that what's already done for the current SSD. That's why I do believe it should work Smile
