    Hi,

    since all samples used are loaded into RAM, the USB speed only matters when you load a library. I.e. there is no disk streaming.
    Make sure you have sufficient RAM.

    BR,

    El Capitan, OSX 10.11.6 with 16Gb RAM, about to increase it to 24Gb.
    I don’t want to add too much because of heating issues.

    AND, I have just found I can also insert USB 3.1 with PCIe card.
