Hi Rick,
However, my concern with the Control15 with its internal HDD is how well the drive noise is insulated; I expect I would have the Control15 only a couple of feet or so from me.
Can you shed any light on this; also is the drive "user" removable like the other Sooloos drives?
The �155 Western Digital 1TB Scorpio Blue 2.5" SATA-300 5200rpm 8mb is perhaps not reliable enough to be consider by M.
Regards,
Carl
Hi Carl,
There is no problem with the noise from the Internal hard drive on a Control 15. I had a good listen at the launch and it makes no more noise than a Control:10 does, so very little.
The drive isn't designed to be swapped out, so no easy accessible drive slots or anything like that, and it won't self configue like a drive does in an Ensemble or TwinStore. I would strongly advise against even considering upgrading it, I don't think it will be impossible, but its a lot more involved than the other stores. Just go for a TwinStore in the future. Or another Control 15, more storage, another Zone output, and Control in another room.
Yes I'd seen a western digital 1TB 2.5" drive, but have had bad experiences using 'cheapy' Western Digitals, although their Enterprise drives are really good.
Rick
