Any 1 TB SSD drive and a plastic case for it. I prefer USB-C.
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

I agree with lalitk. I am using a Samsung 1tb SSD, but use a simple, affordable USB C to A adaptor ( less than $10), and hanging it off the back of my music server on the USB input. It sounds better than most USB A to C cables, uses no wires, and cost a lot less than a good quality cable. Sounds fantastic, and better than my costly NAS drive. More reliable too! |
@acdvd what actually is a audiophile server? Using an SSD is the same…. |
