JRiver on Raspberry Pi 4?
Awesome Donkey:
I use a SD card in my Pi and I've never had issues with the OS becoming corrupted or any sort of instability (and that's saying something considering I'm using the beta 64-bit Raspberry Pi OS). And the speed, for a SD card, is good enough for me so I'd say the use of a SSD would be optional at best.
Wheaten:
Good to hear, it runs stable, but take a google on "sd card corruption rpi".
I've had my share of issues and also on this forum there are multiple topics on corrupted cards.
Mainly caused by a lot of I/O traffic and limited power to the Pi, causing the Pi to crash from which it can't recover. As the Pi is not a powerhouse.
And keep in mind, the SD card was designed to flash files to it, not for random R/W access. There is no communication back to the OS if the card is still writing, powering down on this moments causes the corruption.
So if you have an SSD laying around, doing nothing.... use it for the Pi.

Any ideas?

I too have JRiver on a Raspberry ---
I tried two ways - one is I had the Raspi 4 as the main server with an external USB hard drive holding the library and the other way I tried is with the Raspi 4 as a client of the main Media Center and library on my iMac.
They both worked fine, although I was just testing (...in the future, I may move the Raspi and MC to another room) as I intend to only use the Mac.

Funny. I actually do have an SSD laying around doing nothing. 1TB at that. I'm plugging it into the Raspi as we speak
Wheaten:
Copy the SD content to the USB disk, as mentioned in my topic. shut down the Pi, remove the SD and boot from the SSD :-)
