There are other threads here somewhere (10yrs ago?) discussing/implementing stuff like this. I think the general result was that, for a Mk2a RioCar branded player (has more RAM), up to 240GB combined storage was doable.

The limitations are in the memory required for the data structures which are used by the player software to manage LARGE numbers of audio files.

In your case, perhaps you don't have an insanely large collection, but the individual files are quite huge. That should be less of an issue.

The dual-CF adapters ($5-$15 on Amazon) do work, with one card as Master and the other as Slave (fully automatic, that bit).

Sticking to 128GB max per drive is not required if always using Hijack kernels, but going beyond 240GB or so is probably going to cause more memory issues.

There is now a "combined" bigdisk builder image available, that installs Hijack, partitions 1 or 2 drives, and installs player software v2.01 onto the setup, all in one step.

I expect to be further improving that builder image over the next week or two, to help more with larger drives (beyond 64GB or so). Stay tuned to the SSD threads in the Technical discussion area of these forums.

Cheers
