Hi Henrik, If your NAS is running with Linux, than you can try to make it faster:
1. Try to turn off all services on you NAS which you do not need - like samba, upnp server ot whatever. Try to run only the SBS. 2. After restarting your NAS it is taking sometimes few minutes to complete all tasks. 3. Check the load on your nas when running - you have to logon with telnet, or ssh on it and start the "top" programm, than you wull see what is going on. 4. Optimize the linux filesytem - if your nas is using ext3 or ext4 fs, than you can improve very much the read performance (SBT need more performance from nas than SB3) by setting one additional mount option to your filesystem . You can try the mount options "noatime" and "commit=100". noatime means that in the header of he file the last access time is writen, you don't need it, only few exotic mail programs need it. commit=100 - usually linux is writing changes in the fs every 5 seconds, than after crash you are loosing max. 5s of changes But do it only then, when you know how to do it. "noatime" is the most important, it can make your nas really much faster - with noatime and commit=100 may nas qnap 119 read performance is 90-95% faster. You can try other settings, read this: http://blog.smartlogicsolutions.com/2009/06/04/mount-options-to-improve-ext4-file-system-performance/ Be carefully and make first a backup ! I also switched from SB3 to SBT few weeks ago, and first after optimizing my nas all connection problems dissapeared and browsing through music folders is much faster now. I still prefer the fast UI of SB3 and i am missing beautifll green vu-meters, but sound quality of SBT is much better and the quality of SPDIF output jumped my DAC to another level.
