Curious:

The 2 main reasons for an SSD over a HDD are noise and speed, however a modern quality HDD produces little noise, (Particularly if it’s encased) so you will be hard pushed to hear it anyway. (Especially when you play a note)

As to speed, the interface used in the Audya is old and slow so there will be NO speed advantage by using an SSD.

So why does everybody suddenly want to splash out extra cash for a minimal to zero improvement?
