30 GB SSD too small ? - You can upgrade it !

flyingchaos · Post by **flyingchaos** » Wed Oct 10, 2012 4:38 am

Just wanted to share that I've joined in on the SSD upgrade. I did a few other upgrades while I was at it.

SSD: Samsung 830 Series 128GB 6Gbit SATA
Restore from dvd's went flawlessly.

Memory: Silicon Power 2GB DDR2-800 PC2-6400 CL5
Never heard of this brand before but took a chance. I did notice ram size was 3.2xGB under the restore of 1.0.6, but was 3GB under 2.0.2.

Network: Tenda W150M Portable Wireless Router
Hardware was easy to setup; just a usb for power and network cable and zip ties. Router software was the trickiest to setup. I used the #1 "AP mode". This allows me to connect/ftp to the Kronos directly under a separate local network than my main wifi router. I decided back and forth between "AP Mode" and "Client + AP Mode" but ultimately didn't trust this cheap router to be on my main wifi connection. The only problem I see with "AP Mode" is that it didn't provide DCHP to the wifi clients...no big deal. The ability to FTP to kronos wirelessly via my Android phone and laptop was worth the $24!

Total cost ~160 USD

This all came about because I needed to upgrade my HTPC's (Home theater pc) boot drive

Happy upgrading!

Out of interest, has anyone tried a Crucial M4 yet?

Has anyone found a limit to the drive size? Or can we put anything in there?

Interesting Question, since I´m trying to find out this as well right now...
Especially for the 2nd SSD...

Most likely your budget is the limit. They get prohibitively expensive beyond a certain point. Also, since you still only have the same 3GB of RAM, there's very little sense in having a huge drive. Someone did a 256GB one already. I can't even hope to fill up my 120GB one.

Just wanted to report that I added my second SSD with no problems on a Kronos 61.

Used OCZ Vertex 3 120gb

Great topic. just upgraded my kronos with a 40gb Intel 320 and 1gb crucial RAM.

Can I still add a second drive without replacing the original? I seem to remember that a Kronos update stopped it from adding a second drive...though I have no idea where I got that from.

Also, would this one be ok http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/sandisk-256gb ... 6gbs-a65lu
