Hi everyone.
I have an "OCZ Agility 3 SSD 50Gb" that came with my Windows8 PC. It developed a fault whereby on Occasion it would not boot. In the end this was happening one time a month, so I swapped it out fot a normal WD 500Gb drive and have been using it on my PC as storage with no problems.
Question ?
Does E2 support SSD and if so would I be able to use it in my Xtrend et8000 ?
Thanks in advance Colin

It looks like a standard SATA disk, so I don't know why not.
Although there isn't much advantage in using SSD instead of a normal disk, even a very slow disk is fast enough. The only advantage you have is cooling, an SSD doesn't produce heat like a standard disk does...
Currently in use: VU+ Duo 4K (2xFBC S2), VU+ Solo 4K (1xFBC S2), uClan Usytm 4K Pro (S2+T2), Octagon SF8008 (S2+T2), Zgemma H9.2H (S2+T2)
Due to my bad health, I will not be very active at times and may be slow to respond. I will not read the forum or PM on a regular basis.
Many answers to your question can be found in our new and improved wiki.

And I don't think the Linux version in our STB's fully supports SSD'S (TRIM), so this will lead to a short lifespan.

Thanks WW & Rob,
So just format the normal way on stb, and linux will handle any error checking ?

Yes, "fstrim" command, like most Linux systems.
You may need to "opkg install util-linux-fstrim" to get it.

Is it TRIM by command line or automatic/manual from somewhere in a menu ?
I had to use the OCZ boot USB (PC) to manual trim before

TRIM is supported.
And there's no relation whatsoever between the disk's lifespan and the use of fstrim. The only penalty is that the disk would get slower in use once fully written, but no other ill effects.
Thanks, good to know that.
