Hello, I just change my system and now I have a
backend on a different<br>
server, so I need a light frontend machine.<br>
<br>
My idea is to install 8GB SSD drive on a Nvidia ION
board, and suspend<br>
when I switch off the TV.<br>
<br>
Is this a good idea?<br>
<br>
I will appreciate your comments and your experience on
light frontends.<br>
<br>
Thanks and best regards.<br>

Josu,

<div>I have a FE on an Nvidia ION platform. It works great.
Does your tv support CEC? If so, you could possibly can
get a CEC adapter for that box and then, when the CEC
adapter receives those signals, have it kick off a suspend
and resume, or shutdown, startup. I haven't tried it
myself, but I believe, in theory, this should be possible.</div>

<div>I currently have 5 Nvidia ION frontends. All playing HD and
Blu-rays very well. I use 8GB thumb drives or SD cards in all
of them. No problems at all. I am not sure if bootup would be
quicker with an SSD, but the expense was not justified for me.
I have long wanted to try standby mode, but never got around to
it. My latest frontends have been Zotac ZBox ID11 snagged on
eBay for $125 each with $10 for an 8GB SD card.</div>

I run an Nvidia ION2 frontend with 64GB SSD (for S/W) and 1T Raid 1
HDD (for data) set up, it works just find including recording and
play back of HD TV. No noticeable improvement in boot times over
HDD. My set up goes to sleep when not recording, woken up by the RTC
alarm. To play back when not recording it has to be woken up which
is done by the WakeonLAN feature of Mythmote. Propose to add CEC
control at some time<br>
