Wow! So much support. Thank you all very much.
A bit more background: Tim was very helpful in his advice in the past regarding speed issues I was having with my RPi running moOde that was net connected to my NAS. The issue was the media was just too big and (correct me please, @Tim Curtis if I'm misstating) the speed was adversely affected by the low R/W speeds to the SD card. The resolution was quick in that I stopped using the uSD and purchased an USB3.0 SSD (I know way OTT). It's been running non-stop and is very happy indeed. In fact, I'm using it on my home-built amp, DAC, and some new KEF R3 Meta 2 speakers. Sounds bloody excellent.
That's the reason why I was trying to incorporate both OS and media onto one SSD. From your combined advice, over the break I programmed a SanDisk uSD card and copied media (not an extensive library) to the external SSD drive. All seems well so far. I haven't noticed any slowdown. So, I'm shipping it to my friend to trial it and feedback.
Can I just say how good it is to have such a nice community here? You're all so helpful and patient. It is deeply appreciated.
