RE: Power Supply for External SSD?

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.
