Do SSDs reduce latency in Music Production...???

Thank you BoomR & heddhunter
But what about the option "Wake for network access" ...?? Should i check or Uncheck it..?

I don't think that will have any effect, since your system will not enter sleep mode with the slider settings set as shown. BUT the HDD would still go to sleep after a certain period of inactivity, so you also want to remove/uncheck that option. You don't want any issues with things locking up because system stayed awake but HDD went to sleep

(This question might be silly... But i want to clear my doubt..)
If i am using the computer like(Browsing, Downloading...etc)..Will it go to sleep..?
And if i know that i am not going to use the computer, simply i shut it OFF... Then there wont be any issues with HDD right..?

Sure i will do that when i complete building my Hackintosh with Gigabyte Z77 Motherboard. I am just waiting for ML, Native Ivy bridge kernel, Kepler graphic cards support, HD 4000, Z77 mobo recomendation by Tony..

Wake for network access is probably irrelevant, since your Mac will likely not go to sleep. It just means that if you run, say, a media server on your Mac, you can access it if your computer sleeps.

You don't understand the meaning of the word "inactivity" that I used, when compared to your statement, "If I am using the computer...." ??

Inactivity = leaving computer on, but getting called away because someone is at your door & they drug you out of the house for a beer. You were in the middle of a Logic editing session & left your computer on (and hadn't saved your most recent edits). After a certain amount of time, your HDD would 'spin down' aka "go to sleep." Depending on your other hardware components, when you came back & realized your goof, your computer may "freeze up" as your HDD spins back up (or tries to spin back up) - either temporarily, or possibly for a more extended period of time, causing you to lose your work & have to "force quit" or even worse, do a hard reset.

THAT is one of many examples of why, IF you chose the "no-sleep" energy settings, you should also un-check the box about HDD sleeping...

I have my hard disks set to sleep and I haven't had any problems. Yet. Knock on wood

The other kind of sleep (ie: whole computer turns mostly-but-not-entirely off) is a whole different kettle of fish. I have that disabled. My computer won't wake up properly once it goes to sleep.

Sorry i could'nt get you...Now i understood about sleep and inactivity...
i will uncheck the HDD to sleep option and sleep to never...
Thanks for your patience !

My advice would be get yourself a real sound card, like the soundblaster

I'm using both FW400 ports from my mother board and my PCI-controller with two FW800 ports. No glitches/pops/trouble at all when using my Apogee and MOTU interfaces with the internal FW400 ports.
