I have not used this one, so I can't comment on it specifically. But in general, USB 2 hard disks are plenty fast enough to stream music for one to several clients. If you were serving 40 clients, I wouldn't recommend it. A built-in hard disk is faster. But for the "normal" home use of one to several clients, it's fine. Where USB disks show their speed a bit is when you first scan your library of music. Scan isn't fast anyways, although they're working on speeding it up, and scan on a USB disk will be slower. But if you only scan once, which is normal if you're not developing code and switching versions every hour, you'll be fine. -- Michaelwagner ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michaelwagner's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=428 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18108 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
