use the search function on these forums and you'll find many threads discussing all sorts of NAS units. In my opinion, you should avoid any thing that is not powerful enough (x86 chip, etc.). Many NAS units are not meant to be a server. They are meant to be NETWORKED ATTACHED STORAGE (NAS). You might to try any old used computer and install the Vortexbox system on it (this is a turn key linux/Squeezebox server system). The PC can be stuck anywhere on your network, far away from the music system and doesn't need to have a keyboard or monitor attached to it. -- garym *Location 1:* VB Appliance 6TB (1.10) > LMS 7.7.1 > Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Location 2:* VB Appliance 3TB (2.0) > LMS 7.7.1 > Touch > Benchmark DAC I, Boom, Radio w/Battery (all ethernet except Radio) *Office:* Win7(64) > LMS 7.7.1 > SqueezePlay Retired: SB3, Duet Receiver Controllers: iPhone (iPeng), iPad (iPengHD & SqueezePad), CONTROLLER, or SqueezePlay 7.7 on Win7(64) laptop Ripping (FLAC) - dbpoweramp, Additional Tagging - mp3tag ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93041
