Apple TV Hacked

Most folks will leave the Apple TV alone, but the more enterprising ones don’t mind busting it open to introduce some more improvements. This Apple TV hack isn’t for the faint-hearted, but it will require an interest in modding and a basic level hardware installation experience before you get started. You will need to remove the hard drive from the Apple TV, hook it up to a Mac and create a disk image. The image will then be copied to the SSD before the drive is inserted into the box.. The whole point of putting an SSD into the Apple TV is to have it run faster without generating as much heat or noise. The amount of money you save in the long run due to lower power consumption will never be able to offset the initial investment as SSDs are still relatively expensive. I suppose this is one of the projects that is done because it can.
