[QUOTE="user 997, post: 1084578, member: 997"] Haven't tried A/B tests to see if there is a difference in sound between SSDs or normal HDD, but pretty sure there is no way I'd be able to tell the difference, most computers are noisy environments regardless. One thing I don't like about disk drives is that to save power, they typically power down or park the heads and have to spin up when not frequently accessed which can cause more wear. There is also often a delay waiting for music to start playing back that for some reason really annoys me. I've kind of put in a workaround using my server, so my music is cached on a SSD mirrored from a mechanical storage array protected with parity for reliability. [/QUOTE]
