With that sized library I think I would use a Pi3 coupled with a NAS. Install pCP on the Pi Resize the SD card Add additional file system support Mount the NAS via NFS or CIFS if you must Add LMS to the Pi and point it at the mounted drive (All of the above can be done via web tools) Alternatively you could use an SSD but backup might then become an issue. Easier to plug something into the NAS for backup purposes which can run and not affect LMS. As Michael said a NAS can run also LMS. Synology or QNAP are quite well supported but I'd still go for the Pi as there can be issues with upgrades on NAS that cause problems with LMS. In my case I have an old HP Microserver with SSD running LMS but it works in conjunction with an older QNAP (that doesn't now support LMS) via NFS. I do this as the HP also provides direct CD ripping to the NAS but otherwise I'd run a Pi with the QNAP. I think Michael does something similar.
