Unfortunately I don't think this would work well, for several reasons: - it's wireless. It's a bad idea to have a wireless server. All data goes through 2 wireless hops, and with a device as server-dependant as the Squeezebox, this is bad. You're hamstringing yourself. Now, some people do this and it works for them, but if you have any wireless bottlenecks, they will be made very apparent.
- there is no hacked 3rd party firmware that will operate on it and allow you to install SlimServer is slim, no pun intended. It does seem to run Linux though as it has a Samba server, so in theory the firmware should be available for others to hack. - there does not seem to be any data on what type of processor it uses. If it uses a generic 125 MHz networking processor, it'll be slow as hell. You also can't find out how much memory it has, which is even more crucial to SlimServer. Frankly the idea of a wireless NAS is a bit confusing to me. Small, fanless NAS devices like this, the Linksys NSLU2 and the Buffalo Linkstation/Kurobox are best located near a router - close enough to be wired. I don't mean to run down this product if you like it but it seems to have some very fundamental problems that would make it difficult to be used as a SlimServer. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22571 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
