Thanks. If streaming sounds just as good as ripped CDs then I may do that too. Then 2tb could be sufficient.
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

@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. |
The Samsung professional series is very good , crucial is decent all name brands are plenty fast enough. One thing I highly recommend get rid of the stock cable it comes with I replaced them sonically they have far better conductors and isolation and after 75-100 hours of cable runin. Sound superior ,I would buy one before ripping anything for packet noise is Jitter ,at our audio club proved this , if you can find a name brand Audio quest, or wire world , if not even a $15 cable on Amazon is night and day better built. |
