I originally got the ReadyNAS Duo and quickly switched to a ReadyNAS Pro (Amazon.com took back the Duo no questions asked). Squeezebox Server went from sucking on the Duo to being awesome on the Pro. The Pro is way more expensive than other options that might be just as good, but as has been pointed out on these forums before, you just don't hear anyone complaining about running Squeezebox Server on their ReadyNAS Pro, which has to be worth something.
