Anyone replace HDD with SSD?

Aren't all SSDs SATA?

 

I have. I used a 8GB compact flash card and an compact flash to IDE adaptor.

I just replaced the 40GB drive in my Apple TV with a 64GB IDE Transcend SSD. Pretty easy to do as it is just like any other IDE notebook drive. My ATV is now completely silent and a lot cooler than it was before.

Here's the drive I bought:

Neither is drive speed. In fact, if streaming over the network produces acceptable performance from the device, then an SSD would be massive overkill.

 

Exactly. The only reason I installed a SSD is becasue I have an Apple TV in my bedroom and at night, when I just feel like falling asleep I can hear the HD clicking and doing whatever. The SSD is noiseless.

I have another Apple TV in the living room and can't ever hear it so noise there isn't a concern.

 

would you recommend a SLC drive for tv since it's got an operating system and does streaming, or is MLC sufficient? And is a read speed of 30-50MB/sec sufficient?
