"Harris thought the Hitachi sounded very ethereal, almost out of phase, and rated it lowest; the Seagate was sharper with a more thumpy bass, slightly brighter with a slight tendency to sibilance. Both lacked much drive in presenting the Madonna track, and were certainly 'mushy' compared with the best sound quality we'd heard from the QNAP stable.
Drive three (a solid state type) gave a far from subtle shift in tone and soundstaging. I thought that here this Kingston SSD spread the stage wider, could really pull apart the multi-track layers, and certainly led in blackness too, sounding agreeably quieter than it had any right to. Yet there was also a dull flatness to its presentation, even a graying of timbre.
If the Kingston SSD stood apart from the disk drives for its mostly good yet quite alien character, drive four made itself known for entirely the wrong reasons. This Corsair drive (another SSD) conspicuously highlighted vocal sibilants, and had a hard, relentless quality that was impossible to miss. Strangely, it also robbed the music of pace; it was the least engaging on any emotional level thanks to an enveloping tunelessness that appeared to carve up a song like an MP3 rip."

I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd
This is how religions start isn't it?
Surely the whole thing is evidence of satire?
Personally I think SSD drives sound too clinical, probably due to the crystalline structure. Whereas traditional hard drives have an almost analogue sound. You want to avoid ceramic platters though as the sound is too brittle, old aluminium ones are best, I think EMI are working on a vinyl platter.
Ruins it for me.
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
