Is there an audible difference streaming files from a NAS compared to build in SSD?

Hard drives win on price and capacity. SSDs work best if speed, ruggedness, form factor, noise, or fragmentation (technically, a subset of speed) are important factors to you. If it weren't for the price and capacity issues, SSDs would be the hands-down winner.

I am not sure if that is 100% true.  I have read tests and reports that SSD's are actually noisier than HDD's, in terms of electrical noise at least.  Also, SSD's are not always that reliable.  I have not had a HDD fail for many years, but I did have a failure with an SSD last year.

Quite how much of a difference any electrical noise from an SSD makes to sound quality is of course highly debatable, see F1's post above!
