Dell Latitude E6530 got a steroidal boost today. Added two 2TB internal SSD drives. MS Index rates the r/w io of the drives at 7.9 while the 16gb of D3 RAM is rated at 6.9. The drives are out performing ram. Who'd ever thunk that'd ever happen???
I wouldn't stream, but keeping the bulk of your library in the cloud (Box, DropBox, etc.) and downloading requests. Would seem a single 2Tb drive (or 2 1Tb) would hold most of what you normally play, required stuff, and Top 100 stuff. Just an alternative to dual $1000 drives.Not in the Pocono mtn region where there is no service in a few venues. Also the speed differencence when streaming a music video compared to having it on an internal ssd.
Is that needed to play video?PS. Here is the speed test. My old platter drives topped out around 90MB/s so this is a 10x speed increase.

Good question, DJ Stevie Ray. My reasoning has nothing to do with reliability and MTBF.One question. Why didn't you raid them into one big volume?
