Hi has anyone or is it possible to use a solid state drive in dm800se.
thanks
thanks
If you have an SSD lying around try it. You might have issues like some older PC motherboards have..i.e: the BIOS doesnt recognise or write properly to SSD drives on PC's this can be fixed with a BIOS firmware upgrade,on a Sat box however you are very unlikely get any firmware upgrades for SSD support.
Not particulaly worthwhile though considereing the space/cost ratio of SSD drives. 128GB drives are around 80 Quid for this sort of money you can get a 1TB Mechanical drive. Theres no point in having so little storage on a Sat box especially if yuor recording HD programs you want ideally at least 500GB.
Yes SSD are silent much faster and reliable then mechanical drives, Also dont generate much heat like mechanical drives. But their usage is wasted in satellite boxes, more suited to other applications.
I've never had heat or noise issues with mechanical drives even old ide drives in my clone dm600 were fine, since then I've had a 800hd,800se and vu duo. I've used western digital, Seagate and Samsung spin point drives all have been fine.
As above minimise usage of the hard disk by shifting frequent usage data to a USB pen drive or sd card in a USB reader. Have you checked to see what the SATA read/write rates are on the dm800 are they even rated to SATA 2 yet alone SATA 3 ?? Basically a SSD is over kill for sat box usage especially on older receivers. Try it out though it will definitely give you acoustic benefit if nothing else.
