Funny, I owned the Phoenix reclocker and sold it after realizing it did not improve my systems sound quality with my then new MOJO Audio dac.
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

@grannyring, great info, thanks! I'll be interested in your commentary and experience after it settles in. Best of luck and congratulations on the new piece. |
You’re all recommending SSD drives. I choose thumb drives, because they are lower powered than SSD’s, which suck power to make them as fast as possible. I will do some critical testing, now that I’m talking about it, to try to hear a difference. I can hear both sounding less noisy than a mechanical drive, right away. Do you guys have anything against thumb drives, besides the current max size being 1tb, and it’s price vs SSD? I’m in the market for a 1tb stick, right now, but I could be convinced to go with the cheaper and larger usb ssd, if anyone has a way to make me think that the higher power draw won’t hurt my ears, even theoretically. Oh, theoretically is probably the way the thumb stick will win. Comments? |
