But usb stick are fine for me with the Touch (with 7.6 ...). I guess SSD drives will be the way to go when their price diminish. I recently changed my laptop and now have internal SSD drive, the performance gap is huge. There are two problems for external drives with Touch. The first is the power, SSD should be an improvement. The second is that the hardware of the Touch is probably not powerful enough to handle a large library, no matter it is a HDD or a SSD 100 or 200 GB of flac with artwork is probably too much, while someone having only mp3 with no artwork will have better result. I once suggested that the way to go should be the following - allow the library scan and embedded database creation to be done on a PC, ready to be used as it is when the external drive is connected to the Touch - Allow the customer to completely turn off automatic scan by TinySBS, and do it only on demand. -- nicolas75 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nicolas75's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15823 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86446 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
