I have little to no experience with K servers but I wondering if there will be a switch to or offer optional upgrade to solid state drives at some point?
Certainly solid state is still much more expensive compared to mechanical drives but considering the income of the people who often buy K systems at least some would be willing to pay it.
Some may argue but even enterprise grade drives all fail eventually and will eventually need to be swapped out. Even with minimal usage they still seem to fail. Based on my personal experience and experience of many I know in the IT fields with their company and personal servers it becomes a real, but known, annoyance. For laptops and desktops it’s kind of a no brainer to use solid state. For the server side they just tolerate mechanical drives as they’re just cheaper to keep replacing then swap everything with solid date. For personal use for people with money to burn I would think they would want to minimize down time due to failed drive requiring a service call to replace and restore the lost movies.
Just a curiosity. Thoughts?
