I think Audya don't write so much into the HD.

It's almost only READ from the HD

So there is not so much risk about the SSD death.

Maybe the best is to try with the transcend SSD-IDE

And go gig always with the 2 HDs, so if one goes bad, you have a HD backup smile

Dan,

maybe alot or READ will ruin the SSD faster than IDE drive?
i find it hard to believe

i think AJ once said that using an SSD would require a re-write of the OS

so it probably is not so simple as we think
or maybe it is..who knows

Audya owners should write down this HD and keep it somewhere safe if needed, since not all 2.5" HDs will work on Audya, BTW this is not the only drive Audya use.

Hi again,

READING will not ruin the SSD, just WRITING wink

But don´t forget : ANY new registration, User-Style, Program-Voice, mp3, wave and so on, ( as a summary : anything you change ) will result in WRITING to the SSD.

Even if you have to write only 1 byte the SSD will write a full sector. Depending on it´s size and the HD-technique used this may result in writing up to 32 MB. If you do that 2000 times you´ve written 60 GB.

BUT : On a "normal HD" you´ll write it always on different sectors. On SSD you´ll write it always into THE SAME memory-cell, except the "intelligent use" of the drive is supported by the operating-system ( and the SSD-controller-chip ).

A cheap SSD with MLC memory maybe written only up to 3.000 times until the memorycell is destroyed.

BTW: Technically my post is not 100% correct, but it should figure only how the system works wink

Just a thought? I know the new Korg Kronos uses an ssd hard drive they must have known about the issues before they went for it, well one hopes so anyway, or have they cracked the secret?

Roland G-70 are equipped with Internal SSD (Solid State Disk) about 50 MB.
Remember it's some years since that keyboard released, and my G-70 and SSD drive still works great without any problem smile
