These AV optimized drives are used in professional surveillance and audio/video recording studio systems because unlike normal HDDs, they don't stop every 10 minutes or so to self-calibrate. If you can't afford SSD drives for your music library, the correct type of HDD is one that is optimized for 24/7 audio video performance. Our Illuminati v2 power supply is optimized for powering a NAS/RAID array with up to four HDDs or any number of SSDs. For larger music libraries we recommend an external NAS/RAID array with all SSD drives powered with an ultralow-noise power supply. To power USB devices our Illuminati v2 power supply has an optional second output that is selectable for 5V, 7V, or 9V.įor music libraries smaller than 4TB we recommend an internal SSD for everything.
Turn off unused wireless control interfaces such as infrared, Bluetooth, and WiFi.
