Re: Digidesign SC48The SC48 uses the same 2.5" drives as you would find in laptops. Those drives are designed to tolerate movement and daily abuse. While it's possible that rough transport could kill one, they are more likely to simply die of old age. Such drives don't have a terribly long life span, and SC48's are getting old enough now that many of the early shipped ones are probably due for a replacement.Regarding using SSD - I recall reading something about this, and I think previously SSD wasn't recommended. Something about the Windows XP environment that is the base platform (I think XP Embedded?) not using the SSD properly - TRIM command - not that it wouldn't work, but it wouldn't work optimally. Maybe that has changed. http://www.howtogeek.com/165472/6-things-you-shouldnt-do-with-solid-state-drives/
