Scratch Drive
« on: 17 Mar 2012, 12:04 am »
Hi, I was perusing the settings menu on the BDP-1 home page and saw that there is an option for setting a scratch drive for temporary files. I have a flash drive (fat32) and a passport HDD (ntfs) connected to the system. I only see a checkbox on the flash drive. Can I set the HDD (ntfs) as the scratch drive? Also, what exactly is that for and what wuld be the benefits? I'm specially interested on the album art. How exactly does that work with the scratch drive?

Thanks a lot, the thread was very helpful indeed. I now have the Passport HDD as a scratch drive and album art DB has been built, if only for the sake of the Bryston Home Page cover
