Hey again!
I was wondering if you think it will be much better now that I am going to start using a new SanDisk external SSD directly to my 4K tv?
I have been using a 2TB HDD for a long time now, I used it most for movies, now it have suddenly started to make a low clicking sound the whole time, that kinda sounds like a moped/scooter. So I understood that this is the problem, I have been using it for movies very often, so it isn't as good any more.
Because it has suddenly started to pixelate and stutter in many movies that have been working before.
So I have now purchased a 1TB external SanDisk SSD, I do know that a SSD is much faster than a HDD.
But it will be limited to a USB 2.0 speed because of my TV anyways. The thing is that I have been able to watch movies for a long time now from a HDD, so I should be able to watch movies from a SSD that is for the first much faster and is more sustainable.
So what do you think, will I be able to watch heavier 4K files from the new external SSD directly attached on my tv through VLC etc? Because I have been able to do this from my HDD (before the clicking sound), so logically it will be even easier from the new SSD!?
I've been using a 1 TB HD (regular , not SSD ) for over a year pluged into my Sony. I use the Kodi app to play the content but I don't ulitize Kodi the the full. (ie no scraping for photos of movies or tv or stuff).
As I understand it a 4K movie really only needs 25 Mbps and my hard drive using USB 3 can deliver up to 600 mbps.
edited to ask ...isnt a SSD silent because no moving parts ?
