So I build my XBMC Live box over 2 years ago and it's still going strong. However with the case I chose I am looking for an alternative to squeeze and additional drive into my case. Given it's a slim case I can only really fit in two drives. Right now I have an OS drive, and a Data drive (1.5TB).
So I was thinking of ditching my smaller drive and booting off a SD card or USB stick. I am fearful I will not get great performance coming off USB, so I would rather go SD. However I am not seeing a PCI card that I could mount internal to the case. Anyone with any thoughts? Also I have to stick with half-height thanks to the case.
If not is the next logical step to get a half-height USB3 card and go that route?
