Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Streaming MC200 nearly full - new HD, MD600 or Roon

Great stuff, it's not that difficult when you have the right kit to clone the drive and then a bit of know-how/bravery/help to extend the partition. It does take a long time to clone the drive though, standard format drive partitions seem so much quicker in comparison, which adds to that anxiety that it's not going to work! I think in the past "we" decided the MC200 should support a 2TB drive so you may have room to expand even further. For serious expansion room/future proofing (if not from hardware obscelesence) I would keep an eye out for an MD600. they do come up and should be reasonably cheep these days. You may need to keep your MC200 as an audio end-point as the MD600 doesn't do that bit. I presume in that case you can use the storage capacity on both units but you can only have one "core" running on the system.

I like to have access to music I have bought and paid for (with appropriate monies going to the artists who made it). I'm not a fan of streaming and the insecurity of what format the music might be available in next time I look to play it doesn't help persuade me to part with my money; to a broker who might give the artist a small share.

At the moment Sooloos still works really well for me. It's going to be a rather sad day if/when it finally breaks.
