Hi, I'm a complete idiot when it comes to hardware and software. I bought a Popcorn A300 media player years ago, which died on me yesterday. I had a 2TB harddrive in there, filled with movies. I'm contemplating buying a Beelink GS-King X on Amazon, as it is one of the few media players I could find online in which you can put a harddrive (in fact, it can take two). So, my question is this: if I insert this harddrive into the Beelink, will it automatically be able to play my files?

I have gathered that the Popcorn runs on Linux. Hope someone can help me with this. Thanks in advance.

Hello there,

May I ask you that your SSD from your Popcorn A300 media player is 3.5-inch hard drive?
If yes, you can put your SSD to our Beelink GS-King X.

If not, you can convert your SSD to  to the USB of GS-KING X with a cable or hard drive box.

Hope it can help you and have a nice day!

Hi! Yes it is a 3.5 inch harddrive. Thanks for answering. I have just purchased the Beelink GS King X from Amazon. It will arrive Thursday. I'm excited. It looks like a great machine.

Thanks again!
