SSD on B2

[Michael Young]

Please confirm that all B2 480G versions now shipped are SSD.

[Dennis Lefebvre]

Brennan website says that only two models are equipped with SSD:

We are now selling two SSD (solid state disk) B2s - the 240G and the 480G. SSDs are a bit quicker and have no moving parts. SSD B2s are only available in Black.

This would indicate that the 2TB model still uses a conventional hard drive.

It seems that having an SSD in an audio player like the B2 has only one real advantage, reliability. Is there some other reason why anyone would want a more expensive drive replacing the traditional spinning disk?

I won’t argue that SSDs aren’t more expensive than spinning disks. But the cost of 480gb SSDs is low enough that the difference isn’t all that significant in the cost a a $500 audio device. (IMHO).
