While skimming around looking at solid state memory options I bumped into this fellow  Full review here. Incredibly fast if you pop a USB 3.0 card into your PC. |

Price: $193.99 (from Amazon at time of review) Very pricey now still at 64 GB. Obviously, it must be faster then the rest as it's the new USB 3 interface. ;D It will be great for storing audio files.  |

Chong Other than the portability aspect, it may have been better to fit an internal SSD drive.64GB dsoesn't go too far if you are storing .wav files, especially if you DL high res files from Linn Records or HD tracks.

Alex Yes, I agreed it doesn't store much music for 64Gig but for external SSD, we don't have to on it all the time. We can eject it and save on the wear and tear of being on all the time for internal SSD. Btw, what's the biggest internal SSD nowadays? |

On my cMP2 computer I use an SSD to run the system (a cut down Windows XP Pro) - all the music is stored on 320gb hard-disks - seems to work a treat.

In the meantime, I store demo type material on a couple of Corsair Voyager GT USB pens, and the less played stuff on HDD. Alex |

Miguel The problem here is that to use a 2.5" SSD in a normal Desktop PC (3.5"HDDs) you need special adaptors, which aren't normally supplied. I read about an SSD recently that plugs into a PCI slot, and works like a Raid array with virtually record breaking speeds for SSD, even quite a bit faster than the industry leading Intel SSD. Alex |

Alex The cMP2 setup uses 2.5 inch HDDs - to make sure there is no noise they are put into 3.5 sound-proof caddy's and therefore fit the normal slots - my SSD is just stood upright in the box - after all there are no moving parts! |

Try telling that it makes a difference to some people though, whether there are moving parts or not.!  (I am referring to SQ, NOT noise.) Also , FAR lower power supply demands. |
