Just add a good quality SSD NAS to your network
Need advice on what to purchase to hold 1TB of music and connect to my new Innuos Pulsar.
I just need 1TB of file space and won’t ever need more. I am most interested in sound quality and staying under $500. The less money the better - if possible. It will be hooked up to an Innuos Pulsar that has no internal storage. The Pulsar is streamer only. My music, only 1100 CDs, is already stored on a Raid and I will only use this Raid for backup.
No idea what I need. Don’t think I need a NAS, but may. Do I just buy a 1TB SSD drive? Which one? Connectivity? This is not an area I am well versed on as in the past I have always owned servers which had on board storage ( Innuos Zenith 3).
I am a little lost here fellow Agoners. Thanks for your help. Bill

Bill @grannyring I suggest buying a Samsung SSD + AQ USB A to C from Amazon. I am currently using this drive with my Merging +player. Load up your music and connect directly to one of the USB ports of your player.

@lalitk thank you so much for this simple answer. I assume the Samsung SSD only takes a type C connector. Which AQ cable do you use? The one linked? @antigrunge2 what specific NAS do you suggest and why do you think I need this added cost/complexity? Thank you. |
