I think they imply a sonic benefit for the practice :) thats the worrying part , it migth be that the devs are unicorn chasers that spends valuable dev time on nonsense ? Spinning rust yeah I had one or two drive fails in my whole computer usage career . That aside id like that media resides on another physical drive , that i could just rip out of the machine . On my next server i will have it on a USB3 drive outside of the litle computer running the show . I could build a real small server with bays and stuff I have that now ,but at home its overkill . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
