@MarkCole , Given that an OS—especially a Linux-based one—typically requires minimal space, taking up only a fraction of a 240GB SSD, what might be the reason for choosing a larger 480GB SSD to hold the (server board) OS in an Oladra? The K30 G4, for example, makes do with two 240GB drives (server OS & player OS).
I noticed that the Samsung PM893 has higher write speeds when the capacity is 480GB or more, achieving 520 MB/s compared to just 380 MB/s for the lower capacity 240GB version. Could this performance gain be the main motivation, or might there be other benefits to the increased capacity SSD’s ?
Edit:
- *K30 G4 Interior (2024 upgrade):
includes two PM893 SSDs for the operating systemand one user installed SSD for music file storage.*
includes (1) Samsung PM893 240 GB SSD and (1) Samsung 860 EVO 240 GB SSD for the operating system
