Just out of interest, do you feel that you need the SSD mainly to speed
up restarts/upgrades during development ?
I'm just asking because with the exception for development and usage as
local media storage, I can't see any reasons why the device would need a
fast local storage.
Maybe I'm missing some obvious use case ?

Do you have any idea how the planned enclosure is going to be able to
handle ventilation/cooling ?
I'm guessing it won't have a fan, but does it have room for decent heat
sinks or is it going to be pretty tight ?
For me personally, even if I do have a NAS and 24/7 server, I'd actually
like the idea of having one player which could act as a server to the
other players. Basically, separating the music stuff as a fairly closed
system which doesn't get disturbed by OS upgrades and other maintenance
work on my normal server. So far the issue has always been that it has
been hard or expensive to accomplish with decent performance and still
make it completely silent, so I've just kept using LMS on the 24/7
server and served the music files from the NAS.
Also, related to all this, does anyone have any idea if people should
worry about audio disturbances if putting HDD/SSD in the same box as
John's audio circuits ?
I haven't really done any comparisons myself, but I've read some of the
threads in the audiophile section where it sounds like any electronics
(especially stuff that physically moves) and LCD displays should be as
far away from the audio signal as possible. Having a HDD in the box,
sounds a bit worrying if this is the case.
