The limitless upgrade process of my xl-302 turns now into the direction of SSD.
Just for the record here the list of mods already done
System Windows 10 Pro + Mr. Big Bios Upgrade (original MB)
CPU Intel X3230
Disk Kingstone SSD Snow V 64GByte
GPU Nvidia GForce 8400 Fanless
Rear fan Bequite Silent Wings 2 (with modification of the plastic fan holders)
RAM 8Gbyte Ram 4x2G DDR2 667MHz
PSU Fanless PSU (24 pin Molex adapted)
Front Disk fan Removed
Current HW configuration brings the xl-302 to the following PassMark calculated benchmark indexes
CPU 3200
2D GPU 375
3D GPU 80
RAM 880
Disk 320
The GPU is not adequate, but enough to support the current scope of my xl-302 (music + photos + web browsing + no games )
The disk is currently the real bottleneck (only 100MB read + 80MB write) and I’m seriously thinking to upgrade to a SSD PCI2 Gen2/3
Any experience so far from the forum?
Is it possible by removing the two Tuners ?
Thanks
