There is no way that Slimserver puts enough load on the disk for you to need raid for performance issues (unless you're planning to run a very large number of Squeezeboxes at the same time).
Myself I have a standard IDE 200Gb Drive that holds my music colletion (for now at least - Squeezebox has started me buying CDs at an alarming rate!). I use a hardware Raid for backing up 1 disk (mirroring) to another so I don't have to re-rip all my CDs if a Hard Drive fails!! The one thing I would recommend is to make sure you have a wired connection between your server and your router. Wireless works fine for me, but 2 hops over wireless connections just puts the stabilty of playback over the edge. -- Browny ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Browny's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2295 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19951 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
