Use the cheap drives, you don't need 7200 rpm drives to stream music. I would highly recommend using a Linux based operating system. Also people are constantly misrepresenting the bandwidth needed. First you are not streaming the same song to all players. Second some players will probably be off at any one time. Lastly, this is a buffered dynamic streaming network and is not a note for note constant stream real time stream, the Squeezeboxes stay ahead of what is currently playing. If you don't believe this just unplug your Ethernet or WiFi Router and you'll see your music will keep playing until the buffer is empty. One of my commercial applications is supporting 15 players with FLAC with an Atom MB with 4GB RAM, two 5200 RPM 2 TB drives, and Ubuntu OS. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: Second Boom Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80599 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
