I put the SSD in last night and it booted up perfectly first time. I selected NAS as music and played while it was gathering the rest of the music. Today, when I press N.Music, it just keeps rebooting every time I press N.Music (it reboots perfect every time). So I changed the music back to internal hard drive and everything is working perfect back to normal. Now I'm wondering if it is because I don't have Twonky on my NAS?I have a Seagate NAS and I don't think it can do Twonky?

Hi BarryI can provide this service at a cost of your hard drive being shipped to me and back to you. I will also purchase the SSD drive for you. Please PM me.Is there any company or person offering a service wherein a BM5 is sent in and it's drive copied and verified to operate properly with a 500mb SSD drive? And maybe offering installation of an updated anti-virus program, along with chrome or Mozilla? B

I've done some digging and it seems the Crucial M550 range uses the same 'Marvel 88SS9189' controller chipset as the MX100 so I'm going to see if I can get the M550 1TB SSD drive to work in the BM5.,
I'll update the thread once I've received the drive and had a chance to test it.

Hi
Would it be possible for you or anyone else to download Scanner from Crucial website and run it on MB5?
Crucial told me that this is only way to know which drive will work with the system.
Thanks

This has already been done by another forum member, it's where the recommendation of using the Crucial MX100 drive came from as it was the only drive shown to be compatible by the tool.

Hi to all and thanks for the previous recommendations. I honestly think it is a shame that B&O offers no support on the SSD / upgrade issue, considering the price level of the BeoSound/Master 5.
My BeoMaster5 has a Western Digital 1.0 TB HDD. Unfortunately, the biggest size of the SSD Crucial MX100 is 512GB and therefore I cannot use this model as the clone drive should be the same size as the original HDD. I am now contemplating to try to clone to the SSD Crucial MX300 1.0TB, any opinions?
Thanks, Robert
