Hi all
Do many of you use SSD drives in your NAS, are they much better than a
normal hard drive, apart from the noise and reliability benefits...?
Cheers...

I don't think you will see any real performance gain on the music
storage side during normal operations. But an SSD for the OS and LMS
application and database provides a dramatic improvement, particularly
on Windows based systems.

Thanks for taking a look. The last time I ran a scan it took 3 hours
before I could gain access to the Squeezebox again.
I think the scanning process itself is being completed in 10-15 minutes,
but then there is some disk activity (??) going on for the next 2 hours
and 45 minutes that
If you are running VortexBox 2.3, I suggest installing LMS 7.9 from the
Squeeze Community repository and see if that fixes your scanning issues.
See http://info.vortexbox.org/tiki-index.php?page=squeezecommunity-2.3
for installation instructions.

You have asked me to input my problem into the BBC web form below.
Unfortunately this form does not include any devices such as internet
radios or specialised internet radio steaming hardware as produced by

I think for a normal consumer/prosumer/small office usage, the benefits
are negligible. Or do you have 10 Gb Ethernet devices at home??

I guess the reason that people are suggesting you won't see much/any
speed benefits from an SSD in a NAS is that the music server will
(probably?) be connected to your music player by 100Mbps or maybe 1Gbps
Ethernet (and you won't reach those nominal transfer speeds anyway:
probably reaching only

Thanks poing, no it's purely for music files for my SBT, only need upto
1TB. I'm in the process of choosing a NAS drive. I just thought an SSD
would be more reliable and quieter, not sure if faster or not, this is
all new to me so not got a clue...!!!
Any tips/recommendations on a NAS drive...?

10/10 for persistence! Just post it on the blog!
Indeed.
I also started to make a comment on the blog, but because the iPlayer
'help' URL has 'tv' in it guessed I would be ignored again.
I have asked for my complaint to be escalated to stage 2 but doubt
anything will happen.
you might be able to give me with my problem.
Thanks,
