I have 240 GB SSD working in my quad without any problems.

Most likely not a great idea using an SSD in a receiver :)

[Rob van der Does]

Most likely not a great idea using an SSD in a receiver :)
Yeah, I fully agree with that.

[RimaNTSS]

Most likely not a great idea using an SSD in a receiver :) Why not? It works fine. And if/when I need this SSD I always can extract it and use somewhere else.

[Rob van der Does]

I have no doubt it will work.
But are you sure our mini-version of Linux really supports SSD's (i.e. alignment will be fine)? If not, they will wear out pretty soon.
And what would be the advantage of using such an expensive drive?

[RimaNTSS]

I did not buy this SSD especially for GB Quad, just had it anyway. Would not be correct to keep SSD somewhere on the shelf. I use it as my home network hard drive and like when you just touch it and it immediately wakes up (usual hard drive takes several seconds).

[Rob van der Does]

So again :

But are you sure our mini-version of Linux really supports SSD's (i.e. alignment will be fine)? If not, they will wear out pretty soon.

[RimaNTSS]

But are you sure our mini-version of Linux really supports SSD's (i.e. alignment will be fine)? If not, they will wear out pretty soon. I do not really understand that. I see no difference from how SSD is working compare to usual hard drive. I am also recording some programs, watch them afterwards. I also store lots of personal pictures on SSD and from time to time look at them on TV screen. I also share SSD to Dream 8000. No problems by now.

[Rob van der Does]

Then maybe look into the subject: it is important and there are significant differences.
Look for SSD-TRIM-alignment.

It would be a pity to wear out a drive like that (and loose the contents as well).

I can vouch for this, I too have a WD Blue 1Tb I had knocking about (came with a laptop I bought, but was replaced with an SSD before ever being powered on) and I have not experienced any problems whatsoever.
