if your main idea is just to get rid of hard disc spin you really don't need to use SSD:
all you need is using Audirvana, or similars! they put your selected music from HD onto RAM before playing,
so when you are playing your music it comes from solid memory and nothing is spinning!... :)

Thanks again Paco. My problem isn't hard disk spin but spin UP. This still occurs when playing from memory (as I do) as the player does not store an entire album but loads a track at a time into the memory. So, towards the end of the preceding track, the player requests the next track to load. This causes the hard disk to spin up and a brief (under a second) noise as it does so. Thereafter the disk ceases to spin.
I use JRiver MC 22 as my player. One feature ( yet to be implemented) in the specification for 22 compared to 21 is that an entire album will be loaded into memory. Once an MC 22 build is issued with the entire album from memory feature my problem will be over. However with JRiver the specifications for a new version may be more in the way of aspirations at the beginning.
you're very welcome! what you say about JRiver astonishes me! with Audirvana
i never experienced any noise at all!! when a track is finished it downloads the next one
in total, absolute silence, and very very fast; you should try! they have a 15 days free trial...
No, the noise doesn't come from JRiver. It is a noise from the mechanism of the Seagate HDD as it spins up when it receives a command to send data for the next track. That is why I want to replace the HDD with an SSD. JRiver itself is a great piece of software.
I am very pleased for you that you are happy using Audionirvana. However it cannot be appropriate for me as it is an application solely for Apple Mac (or , more precisely, OSX). My operating system is MS Windows 10.
i see... i didn't know those drivers are noisy... my iMac internal driver is silent, as far as i'm able to notice... anyway, good luck with your investigation!
