For music streaming there is absolutly no need to go for the SSD scenario unless indeed like has been said before you want very fast scanning which I personally do only occasionally. Either I do a search for new tracks scan or I browse to the folder with new files and LMS will automatically add only the new files discovered in that folder.
If you would do the Math; A flac file may be 50MB, If your SB is connected via 802.11n wifi (max 300mbps) and half the bandwidth would be used because of signal strength that you can stream using a 18,75 MB/s speed. That would mean that in less than 3 sec the whole flac file could be send to the SB. So 802.11n should be more than enough first of all and its 100Mb ethernet counterpart also. The throughput of spinning harddrives is I believe somewhere in the orders of 90Mb/s so also more than efficient. read a post here on NAS backups; I have installed the crashplan client on my NAS and everything is backed up to the cloud because a NAS may protect you from a single harddrive failure but not from fires and theft. You can restore from any given point in time. Had to use it a few times already.
