I have an 8GB Kingston Datatraveller 400 USB flash drive where OS X Leopard running iTunes and not much else on my Macbook from the flash drive. In a different room I have a Mac Pro as a server with some 6 TB storage for some 6000 CD and quite a lot 96k/24bit and 128x DSD files, mainly digitized from LP, but few original high-res recordings as well.
This way playing through the Ethernet between the server and the flash booted Macbook, I have no moving parts and the majority of the bits played from the 2 GB ram of the MB. The intetrnal 120 GB HD is unmounted of course, I do not need it, but you can use it this to store your music only.
Like it much better than playing on the ordinary way. I have the Altmann Attraction DAC. Fun to see how the cache is is filled on the flash memory, as the led is blinking for a very short time in every few minutes.
