Do any of you have a speed problem using a NAS to run your Squeezebox server software when rescanning etc? I initially put SB server on my Synology DS 207+ and if worked fine but seemed a little slow when clearing and rescanning etc. I installed the Windows version SB server on my vista machine and all I can say is WOW the difference is astounding. I guess because my vista box has 4G of RAM and a high powered CPU it runs circles around my exteranl NAS as the CPU and memory in the NAS was really built for storing, retrieving and backing up files. I was wondering if you are happy with the NAS performance and have you compared it to a regular windows computer with fast CPU and a lot of ram. -- edmondwolfman ------------------------------------------------------------------------ edmondwolfman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40367 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84094 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
