RE: Question about USB storage

Hi Mike,

As far as comparing SSD to spinning drives people do find improvements by using an SSD for storage. I have not compared them myself yet. I definitely recommend and use an SSD for the operating system drive in my music computers. I also use SATA filters and power the drive with DC. These have made a difference in sound quality. You are somewhat limited as far as these things because you're using a notebook computer, but as you go along such improvements can make a difference. If your notebook has an eSATA port try putting your external drive on that. You could also add an eSATA card if you have a slot. Another thing I would recommend is going over to Computer Audio and looking at the thread on the Regen. It is a USB device which regenerates a cleaner USB signal and will definitely improve any system that is using an onboard USB port. Any Mac user or person using a notebook should take a look at the Regen.

Regards
Bob
