Ironically I usually record onto a Raid 1 which I did not use in this case because we had several power losses during the rehearsal period. So I switched to bus powered drives. I obviously better should not have done that...
As said, my experience with USB3 has been absolutely flawless so far. CPU load is negligible with reaper.
SSDs in the required size are still costly, let's see what the next years bring.
Another thought on the 'black hole': If I get i correctly, reaper does not get any kind of feedback from the drive, saying "the last package has been written". Thus reaper builds the waveform displays out of an own cache?
A workaround for checking the drive connection on a regular basis might then be to simply save the session every few minutes? (however, why was there no feedback from autosave then?)
Excuse my persistent questions, I am just curious on this.
