ALLO USBridge Signature

[kandroid]

I have both digione signature and USBridge Signature.

In the Digione Signature, I now have MoOde booted from a externally powered 1TB hard disk which is connected to one of the USB ports of Raspberry pi board.

I have a separate 900GB NTFS partition on the hard disk where all the music files are stored.

I observed that library build up of around 800GB of music files was blazing fast and the system is overall very stable.

When running off the SD card with the files on a hard disk, the library management was quirky.

 

In technical terms, it it better to have MoOde OS and the music files on a single large hard drive or is it better to take the SD card route. 

 

In USBRidge Signature the USB boot is not working and I have see if there is a work around. However I believe ALLO does not recommend connecting a hard drive to the spare USB ports to play music from, but can a externally powered drive be connected?

I have three streamers, including a USBridgeSig+DigiOneSig.
Each runs MoOde from it’s own SD card

All pull FLACs from a Synology NAS over the LAN (wired and wireless)

 

all work just fine,. 

I don't want to setup a NAS. Just want to know if single hard drive is a better solution.
