Which external SSD for music streaming?
My new music streamer has a USB socket to connect an external Solid State Drive. I am thinking of getting one with 2 or 4 TB storage capacity to store my whole CD collection on it. What I don't know is how fast such an SSD needs to be. I was thinking of a Crucial X6 (up to 800 MB/s), or X9 (up to 1050MB/s). Or is any SSD fast enough to stream music smoothly? Thanks
@stievus most SSD manufacturers make two or three types of drives that differentiate between capacity, speed, and longevity. As a music library doesn’t typically get overwritten and just added to, you should look for drives that offer good longevity. Here’s a link to a page that can explain it better than I can. :)

@blisshifi Thanks for the link. @kijanki Good to know! |
@blisshifi good info thx! so my QVO is fine. Should last a while. As with any drive, having a backup is essential. I have a WD HDD that has an image of what’s on my QVO. So keep this un mind as well @stievus to back it up once you load it. |
