As an alternative to mechanical hard disks, there are SSDs (Solid State Disks) without moving, mechanical parts. They have become very reliable, use little energy, are absolute silent and are 'lightning fast'. E.g., there are good, reasonably priced SSDs available (€ 175 - 180 GB SATA II).

Questions:
1. Is there practical experience already with SSDs for the current generation X10 (future generation as well)?
2. Is there a 'minimum requirements' specification for buying a SSD for the X10?

We tested several SSD's and don't know any issues till now

Speed of the SSD is more or less irrelavant. The X10 internal interfaces are the bottleneck

To be sure, did you test the:

Samsung 128GB 840 Pro Series 2.5" 128GB (Mfr # MZ-7PD128BW) Solid State Drive (SSD) ?

It's a 2,5 " size - does that fit in the X-10 Hard Disk bay?

It's sound- and vibration-less, very low energy and cool.
