Don’t Use exFAT for your Sample Libraries 🚫 (Kontakt, SampleTank, Superior Drummer, Waves, etc...)
Why you don’t want to use exFAT for your sound and sample library content, and what format you should use for your external drives.
If you are using external hard drives or external sold state drives (SSD) for sample libraries and sounds for virtual instruments, then you do not want to use exFAT for the drive!
exFAT is much slower when loading samples into Kontakt for example, and it can also cause glitches in playback. exFAT is also more prone to corruption since it does not have journaling.
While exFAT is awesome because it can work on both Mac and PC, the performance hit simply isn’t worth it for your music studio.
The format you want to use instead is NTFS for Windows and APFS for Mac.
Whether you are using Native Instruments KONTAKT, Toontrack Superior Drummer, IK Multimedia SampleTank, Waves Virtual Instruments, etc... you will benefit from much faster loading times, and less of a chance of drive corruption.
If you don’t know how to format a drive, it’s covered in the video.
The external drives I use and recommend are the Samsung T7 Shield SSDs.
They have the best price to size and performance ratio. However, if you want the LATEST tech and don’t mind spending quiet a bit more, then the Samsung T9 external SSDs would be my choice. But the T7 is already blazing fast for sample content and recording, as long as you don’t format to exFAT.
*Note - If you have Native Instruments KOMPLETE 14 Collectors Edition and many other VI sample libraries, I would highly recommend you get a 4TB drive or two 2TB drives, because Komplete CE will take up almost all of a single 2TB drive.
