My experiences with Rock and a 500k+ tracks library

Hardware configuration. With a library that size you will need to build a custom desktop unit. NUC CPU’s are mobile (aka laptop) CPUs. Desktop CPUs are much beefier (and take up more energy; thus needing more cooling). Others have weighed in, you can check out my current configuration, if curious The Soul of a New Machine - #26 by Rugby. Picture of the build a couple of posts previous.
