We did test notebook with SSD (boot by SSD) and notebook with HDD, using cplay + cMP. The difference is relatively smaller than swapping usb cable or applying power tweak and OS optimization. Probably because cplay load the music 100% to the memory first before it play the music. I think the results depends on software you use.
I think it make good sense going SSD if your budget is sufficient to buy SSD and store the records you will listen to. But better optimize the OS, power and USB cable first to really benefit from the SSD.
For my SSD notebook, SD card is available and there is no difference compare to storing in SSD.
But it does not make too much sense to me to have OS on HDD and use SD card for storage as the HDD is spinning anyway. Same for using USB memory. So if you are using HDD for OS, I cannot see good reason why would would store music file in solid state media to optimize sound.
I use SSD macbook air and it is very fast and no noise. Fully agree. There is other performance bottleneck on my macbook and it does not sound better than my Wintel notebook running harddisk. But I admit that I spend much more time tweak my Wintel notebook.
So I think better clearing these performance bottleneck first, then one can enjoy the full benefit of SSD benefit.

i am changing my mac mini to bootable SSD and now is migrating my song to NAS. However, i am afriad that since my NAS is connected through the home plug and not so sure whether this is affected by the electricity of the home plug. I will try to see the difference as my HHD is full and cannot afford to buy a large SSD to put song.
I don't think the nas power will have issue if it is connected wirelessly . Find a player to load it to memory and play from memory to avoid network latency impact to sound quality.
