Sorry to be a pain but I am scared to order a wrong piece of kit after my latest experience.
Would this do the job as the SSD?
That’ll be fine if you’ve ordered a tall NUC. But there are other options including the Crucial and Kingston. You don’t need SSD performance for your music library so any will do.
Hi Martin., I am going for the Nucleus
Internal SSD’s in the Nucleus must be no taller/thicker than 9.5mm.
Sorry but I am now confused …so the product I have shown above is not suitable for the nucleus ?
From the Nucleus page: https://roonlabs.com/nucleus.html
Internal storage slot
2.5” SATA SSD or HDD up to 9.5mm drive height
The Samsung drive is (7 x 0.7 x 10) cm so it will fit.
Roon Nucleus ordered this morning. An 8 week wait to get it which is frustrating, but the decision is made.
Thanks for the input to the thread, much appreciated.
I have been running my NUC/ROCK for a couple of years now connected to my Devialet LE200 and it has been flawless. Network connected sounds better to me but YMMV as always. I recently replaced my 1TB HDD with a new 2TB Samsung QVO and could not be more happy. The increase in browsing speed was worth the change and the lower cost of the QVO was a welcome surprise. I believe you will be happy with your decisions.
