Ok, guys, enough now about storage! Back to the Pi.............
If there are any further posts about storage safety (as it is non-specific to the Pi), they will simply be moved to a separate thread, with that as its title.

SSD I would agree with - HDD ... absolutely not. I have lost a fair few even in recent 'improved' times
All not a problem if you have enough (and diverse) backup and do it regularly BUT the bigger your archive the pricier and more time consuming the backup. I stopped using gizmos such as Time Machine yonks ago since a virus wiped both disks out - even Apple gets viruses...
Ahem! See my last post ;)

I think my post was simultaneous ;)
.. have started a new thread on storage:

My slice of PI:

Snapped this up on fleabay several weeks ago for <£50 including 16gb SD card and case, but not a psu. I'm using coax out into one of Stan's DACs, the PI is connected via ethernet cable. Audio Files are stored on network and/or USB memory stick inserted in PI.
As a Linux tinkerer, I went through Volumio, Rune. Squeezeplug, picoplayer and finally "Squeeze on Arch". The first two are MDP based, while the others are LMS based. I settled on "Squeeze on Arch" for now, sq is great for the money.
Macro, what case is your Pi and DAC housed in? I''m curious to try one against my highly modded SB and wondered if there was a starter kit witch case Pi, DAC, PSU etc......
