Streamer Operating System Storage: SSD vs EEPROM?

I don't think EEPROMs usually have enough capacity to store the OS kernel and associated modules / stub filesystem. If the OS isn't on the storage drive, it's probably stored on a small boot drive or NAND memory module.

Thank you Jerry and yage for answering - I am interested in learning more about this before I purchase my next streamer.

@Yage and @Carlsbad2 are correct. The SSD's are for storing the music, not the OS. I have 30+ Years in IT and also own a N200 and love it. I am using two 5TB SSD's.

Aurender uses Low-Power High-Efficiency CPU to run its OS. From Aurender website,

“Most other systems buffer. Aurenders cache. Every Aurender model features a massive solid state memory from which all playback occurs. This important feature helps to minimize system resource requirements for enhanced audio performance and stability”.

I’ve recently upgraded from Aurender N20 to N30SA, couldn’t be any happier and I’m done :-)

Thank you. That is really useful. I was aware that my two Aurrender’s were extremely good at isolating playback from my network, helpful to see that statement from them. My Aurrender W20SE is really amazing.
