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!
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

@acdvd what actually is a audiophile server? Using an SSD is the same…. |
This indicates you already have a connection from your current storage to the server and you are interested in something to use as a backup of that primary working storage. Is this a correct interpretation? If so then you only need any decent stand alone drive to make a manual backup to and be put away in a safe place. |
