Don't know if there is a relation between speed and SQ.

Hi Bernie,

I don’t know if there is any relation between the read/write speed of a SSD and sound quality (SQ).
Why do you think there is a relation between SQ and read/write speed?
I simply don’t know if there is such a relation.

I think that in my cMP^2-setup read/write speeds are of not much relevance.
While playing music with a cMP setup, I don’t see any read and/or write activity too the disk (I have my disk LED connected).
There is only disk activity when XP is started or shut down, a program is started or closed or when a music file is loaded from disk.
When music files are loaded through LAN, than I also see no disk activity.

I don’t know why a SSD sounds better and/or why a HDD sounds worse in my cMP^2.
- is it because of less power consumption?
- is it because there is no motor in a SSD?
- is it because a HDD pollutes the PSU lines, which than spread trough PSU lines too other area’s?
- Is there pollution from the PSU (that powers the HDD) leaking trough the HDD via the sata cable onto the MoBo?
- is it because the HDD-concept ‘pollutes’ the MoBo through the sata cable?
- is because the SSD-concept is less ‘polluting’ through the sata cable?
I don’t know.

I also can’t find much about it on the WWW why SSD’s sound better. But I do know:
- a HDD with the motor off (not running when in energy saving mode) sounds equally worse, than when a HDD has it’s motor running.

So not knowing exactly how and why a HDD sounds worse, I would not keep an extra HDD in my cMP^2 setup attached too the MoBo.

My two cents.

Mark
