RE: Changing Hard Drive in a Melco
Thanks, @davidp. How did you decide on the WD Blue SSD's?
Melco HA-N1ZH60 Mk1 (MinimServer 2) --> network --> AURALiC ARIES G2 --> Lightning Link (WWPS7 hdmi) --> AURALiC VEGA G2 with AURALiC LEO GX Master Clock --> XLR --> Mark Levinson No. 523 --> RCA --> JL Audio E-Sub e110 (active crossover @ 100 Hz) --> RCA --> Bryston 4B3 (Cubed) --> Magnepan .7 |

RE: Changing Hard Drive in a Melco
@GreenMtnGringo My Melco was already fitted from new with WD Blues and I assumed swapping like for like was the least risk. I'd used Reds in a NAS and found them noisy. I went from 2x3Tb WD Blues to 2x4Tb.

RE: Changing Hard Drive in a Melco
Thanks, @davidp. I might have assumed a fact not in evidence -- did you install 4-TB WD Blue spinning hard drives or 4-TB WD Blue solid state drives?

@GreenMtnGringo Conventional HDs not SSDs

N1A and N1Z/2 I used BX100 SSDs, which are no longer available.

RE: Changing Hard Drive in a Melco
I have currently around 7T of music.
If I had to buy a Melco, would it mean putting either 2 x 4T SSD with no redundancy or 2 x 8T HDD with redundancy ? And what about system files size ? |

RE: Changing Hard Drive in a Melco
The music sounds better when the drives are formatted as spanned (no redundancy). It's better to do this and make sure you have a good backup.
On the latest Melco models (EX series), about 30 GB of disk space is used for system files. |
