Yes, it requires you to solder some resistors on the processor board. The boot device is hardwired. Nevertheless, I think I'm going to give it a go. Would be nice I the SD card is no longer required. I'll post the results when I decide to take the jump. slackhead wrote: > > I have a quite fast ssd in my office workstation and it makes a huge > difference. I used a small SSD drive (120 Gb Samsung EVO) because CSOS doesn't use a lot of space and the smaller SSD's are usually less expensive. The write speed of that SSD is not that spectacular. A 500 Gb Samsung EVO is twice as fast but costs more than three times more. So there is a compromise to be made. That's why the 120 Gb would still be my choice. The read performance is 10x faster than the SD card and that is e pretty important factor too. 1 x SB3, 1 x SB Boom, 1 x SB Radio and 2 x SB Touch - all wireless 1 x Wandboard Dual behind the bedroom ceiling 1 x Wandboard Dual for 'msqueeze' (http://www.msqueeze.co.nf/index.html) project ReadyNAS NVX running LMS 7.7.3. w iTunes plugin iPeng 7 on iPhone.
