If I remember correctly will go read up on this again, Avid still recommends recording to hard drives rather than solid state drives, I remember a extensive PT Expert discussion on this subject and there the consensus was also to stick to hard drives for tracking. This has to do with the amount of

Hi John Yes true that SSD drives have no moving parts so nothing to be warn out over time, but just as with USB flash drives they have a certain amount of read and write cycles. These cycles are getting more and more as the technology advances and will probably eventually outlive other components i
