AFAIC, I am using indifferently 2 external HDDs with the Touch running Tiny SC : - An externally powered 3.5" LaCie d2 Quadra 1.5Tb - A bus powered 2.5" La Cie Rikiki 640 Gb My music collection consists roughly of 1850 Albums / 26000 tracks / 550Gb of FLAC files. With any of these HDD, I find the Touch usable, but rather slow in its operation, but that seems not to be related to the HDDs themselves, but to the size of the collection. Tiny SC is more and more sluggish as one's collection increases... Of course, I have no problem using the Touch with any of these HDDs when SBS runs on an external server. So, whatever HDD you choose, if you plan using TinySC with around 20000 tracks, just don't expect a super fast and fully enjoyable handling of the Touch. If you don't have to go every 5 mns into numerous menu items and just plan to listen to a (not too big) playlist (and without any high-res files), that should work. -- rotho ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rotho's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33493 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83586 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
