Title: Using a SSD rather than a HDD
Post by: dortmunder on September 27, 2018, 11:33:24 AM

Hi.  Will a SSD fit into the bay (which is designed for a HDD)?
Are there any particular problems with using a SSD in this way?
Thanks.

No problem except price. I prefer using a 2.5 inch HDD instead as it is very silent and low heat too. Either one can be used easily using a 3.5 inch converter (case looking like exactly an 3.5 inch drive).
ICY BOX IB-2535 series is a good example.

For data storage and for video playback there's no benefit from the faster speeds of the SSD's over HDD's. Maybe for very high bandwidth Torrent download, but I guess the Q10 Pro's max Ethernet bandwidth capability will be the first short cross section.
