Thanks Herb!
I just started investigating what was going on w the proxies, and i was using them incorrectly. I did a test last night, and BOOM! Smooth like buttah. But I was thinking if I was using native, I’d need a raid. Or at least split up the media on different SSDs.
Kinda silly as I have about 4 SSDs on my machine already, but each dedicated to something, like programs, cache, OS, and media.
