I recently bought some SSD's to use as usb storage media for my media player. 'Wall wart' power supply is 5v 2 amps. Looking at specs, the SSD's power consumption is (for three of 'em) 1.5, (2), & 1.65 amps. All that power going through the player, (Micca) seems a lot. I dont think the ssd's use any power till they are accessed, but videos are accessed continously while viewing. Could this be a problem?
2½" hdds use around 0.5 amps ±, 1/3 less.
I am now considering using them as 'C:\' - 'os' drives. They are 250 ± gig drives, WD, Patriot, & Sandisk.
I have several identical computers, & installed os & software on a 120g hdd, which I used to clone to 500g hdds,whenever one system crashes or hdd dies I have simply cloned the 120 to a larger drive, multiple times I might add.
Would this work with an ssd if all files graphic & video be on a D or E (etc.) drive? As I understand it, ssds die from being written to much more than simply being read from. Is this so?
People here seem to know much more than me, so, I ask, , , ,
