I recently looked around for a NAS to use as a dedicated slimserver, but in my experience I found that most if not all were deficient in one or more of the following:
1. CPU Power 2. Noise (Fan and/or PSU noise) 3. RAM 4. Disk Capacity 5. Ease of configuration (Slimserver installation) and support In "my" order of importance. Note that I plan to rip a considerably large number of CDs into FLAC. The order and importance of the features above might not apply to those with "smaller" music libraries using or using other file formats. 1. CPU Power - Given the size of my music library and the way that "I" see the Slimserver evolving - it will be necessary to use a good SQL engine to manage this library efficientlty. As the SQL engine features and flexibility increse, so will the need for CPU power. You don't get something for nothing. From what I see in the recent beta built MySQL, a more powerful SQL engine, is becoming Slimserver platform of choice. -- tamanaco ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tamanaco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4620 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24428 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
