Re: [slim] 6 SATA Hard Drives full of FLAC files - need suggestions
As someone who also experienced data corruption issues with a jmicron-based enclosure, I'd advise against using any type of consumer-grade HW based solution of that kind. If you want a (moderately) high-performance NAS, building your own is imo the best solution (I've been using a similar setup for the past ~6 years). Cases are not that expensive: 'overview' (https://geizhals.at/?cat=gehatx=536_4%7E550_2+-+ITX%2FDTX=p#productlist) Intel's Gemini Lake SoC mainboards (same as in the current NUCs) are fairly cheap and only need 6-20W: 'overview' (https://geizhals.at/?cat=mbson=11832_Gemini+Lake%7E317_(SoC)%7E3760_Intel%7E4400_Mini-ITX=p#productlist) Add a power supply and RAM and you're done (if you really need >4 drives, add a SATA card) There are a number of open source NAS OSes (FreeNAS, Open Media Vault, ...) available as well.

Re: [slim] 6 SATA Hard Drives full of FLAC files - need suggestions
I would definitely look to stay ahead of your storage requirements by buying fewer larger drives. You can get four 8tb without having to ride the bleeding edge of price or performance and have two copies and room to spare; then you're looking at a simple 4 bay pc like the hp microserver or similar. With a suitable Linux distro you can run two stripe pairs with a hourly rsync for replication. Add encryption and you're covered. -Transcoded from Matt's brain by Tapatalk- -- Hardware: 3x Touch, 1x Radio, 2x Receivers, 1 HP Microserver NAS with Debian+LMS 7.9.0 Music: ~1300 CDs, as 450 GB of 16/44k FLACs.

Re: [slim] 6 SATA Hard Drives full of FLAC files - need suggestions
12 TB thats pretty bad... ..because i run a wd red 10TB Disk for small cash. and a single drive fits proper in a single disk case. but 12 TB doesnt fit in the 8.8TB drive labeld as 10TB. Since your able to backup one drive after another i dont think you're using any raid just a bunch of disks? teracopy looks like you running Windows. Rsync can handle a bandwith limit but the rsync windows version cant handle UTF8. So rsync isnt a good idea...

[slim] 6 SATA Hard Drives full of FLAC files - need suggestions
I started a home music system in 2009 based on Squeezebox. I am still VERY happy with it. Gradually my library has expanded to approx 12 TB of mainly FLAC files. Currently the music files are spread over six 3 TB hard drives that are housed in an Medisonic USB 3.0 hard drive enclosure: Mediasonic H82-SU3S2 ProBox 8 Bay 3.5" Hard Drive External Hard Drive Enclosure - USB 3.0 & eSATA https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005GYDMYG/ref=pe_385040_3033... It has been in service since 2013 and seems to have been a pretty good solution. I had to replace one early due to complete failure but it was under warranty. The hard drive enclosure is connected to a dedicated NUC computer which runs the Squeezebox server software and keeps the music indexed. HOWEVER, recently I notice hashes mismatches when transferring files to the discs. When I transfer files to the Mediasonic enclosure, I get the mismatches; when I transfer files to any other attached USB drive, there are no mismatches (I use Teracopy to verify the file transfers) I read in a couple of reviews that the problem with these units lies in its jmicron controller. So I have a few questions: 1. Should I just replace the obviously problematic unit? or, 2. Should I consider other options? Other options might be a NAS but I really want something faster such as my NUC because I use that computer as a Shoutcast server and as a Madsonic server which allows me to access my music outside of the house via phone apps or other computers. I doubt a NAS would be able to run all this software and give reasonable performance. I suppose I could build a computer with 6 drives but that would obviously be pretty expensive and not sure how many cases will hold 6-8 drives. Interesting to note that I have not had a drive failure in 3 years of continuous use. I use NAS drives and I back them up regularly to an external hard drive dock, one at a time. I'm not interested in other music streaming options than Squeezebox as I have a number of still functional Squeezebox players including a Touch, a couple of Booms, and a Radio. Additionally I have built several picoreplayers. Thanks for reading this and helping if you can.

[slim] Synchronize players: worked fine, now constant hiccups
Hi all I was using 2 players - see my signature - which synchronized perfectly without any problems at all. After adding a 3rd one over powerlan which also worked fine, I got a Zero W and I cannot get even the 2 first ones to play synchronized without hiccups any more. In the past it would help to break the syncing, reboot the main system first, then the additional one and sync them. Whatever I do now, from the moment I add the 2nd one, things go wrong and even the main system stops playing. I also noticed that the nightly rescan of my library stopped working at the same time I tried added the Zero. Can anyone please point me in direction to solve this? TIA R.

Re: [slim] Rebuffering problems AFTER a Win 10 update
Given that this ppears to be a recurring issue, I thought I would just note how I solved it (for the moment, of course - nothing is absolutely for ever with networking or any software, actually!) The issue started after I had an update for Win10, after a considerable period during which I had two Touchs, plus sometimes a Duet and of course Squeezelite-X running quite perfectly in all respects, so far as I could tell. Having read my way through tons of threads, and having received specific advice from Apesbrain, I also found this from sgmlaw on another thread .. - 'One of the best things you can do in any server-based environment is assign a fixed local IP address to the server machine itself. This will make the clients' job much easier going forward, especially those that NV cache networking settings through reboots and updates. Everything they need is always at the same local address, every time, without fail. LMS is no different in this regard. Our SB clients can always locate the server, with the occasional exception of our Receiver, which occasionally balks at a final connection without intervention from the Controller. While we use DHCP for clients that are constantly logging on and off, all major static network resources (always-on elements such as servers, NAS and other data hubs, printers and switches, etc,) get static addresses. You will have a much more trouble-free network environment if the major pieces are always in the same place. Place these static resources out of the assigned DHCP range, and even the most poorly designed DHCP server can handle it. You will rarely need 'finder' apps to hunt down moving resources again. After decades of networking, this is the best way to do it. ' I already had the server machine assigned a reserved IP address, so I just added reserved addresses for the Touchs (and the printer too) & also updated LMS to the latest overnight build - (7.9.2 - 1545144292 ), noting that there where some possibly siginificant performance efficiency enhancements in 7.9.2 over 7.9.1. One of my Touchs was also extremely closely positioned next to a large soundbar underneath the TV, so that may also have affected the system. Fingers crossed, heavy duty FLACS are now playing everywhere without any rebuffering at all!! Thank you to all the helpers on this forum - your expertise & common sense are absolutely invaluable!
