HDD & SSD and combinations there of

dear cics

I´m still not sure how to interpret your following statement :

"The only time you should do this is if you plan to store your music on external drives (via eSATA). With eSATA HDD, you can power HDDs separately. Otherwise SSD+HDD gives no benefit.
Simplest (but most expensive) is to use SSD only. Depending on storage needs, using a single SSD is ideal."

If I put my Operating System on SSD, and all my music files on a regular HDD (powered separately) or an external eSATA HDD, that should yield the same quality as putting OS & music files on one SSD, right ?

the clou must be to power any haddisk on a separate power rail.
whether musicfiles are read from a HDD or SSD should not make any difference when loaded into cPlay´s RAM anyway.

or am I mixing things up ?

kind regards
