If you say just for fun, then that's a valid reason :-)
- Manozco 9y agoSilence is a nice feature for SSD :)
- jedberg 9y agoJust for fun!

- wil421 9y agoWith gigbit internet I realized the HDD write speed is my limiting factor. It’s taking siginificantly longer to extract my compressed files than it takes to download it. Adding an ssd as a staging drive for downloads and using it for transcoding has given me a good boost.
- perfmode 9y agoWhy not just stage to a RAM disk?
- wil421 9y agoNot enough RAM at the moment my water cooler failed and I just replaced it. I want to try some of the Optane memory and my MOBO supports it. My other hobbies have been comsuming my spare cash.
- ben174 9y agoI just bought the Thunderbolt 3 Drobo, and realize it's completely pointless without SSDs. It advertises 40 Gbit speeds when using an active Thunderbolt 3 cable, but only gets about 200 MB/s with normal drives. I could probably get close to that with the USB drobo.
- Bud 9y agoYes. But you're totally future-proof now. And you can speed it up a ton if you throw in a single fast SSD as the cache disk. Then in 4-8 years, when the price/performance works for you, you can throw in all SSDs.
- ferongr 9y agoWouldn't the speed ultimately be limited by the CPU speed of the Drobo itself instead of the interface? Even hardware accelerated hashing has limits.
- jjeaff 9y agoIt's not the speed, it's the size and power consumption. Big heavy server racks with 1000 watt power supplies don't go well in apartments.
