I also tried running SC on an old Buffalo NAS and it was impossibly slow. However, I now run it on a QNAP TS-219P which only has 512MB RAM compared to 1.5GB of TS-239, and the speed is actually faster than running SC off my dual core Thinkpad laptop. The rescan speed when running through the laptop was much slower, probably due to the fact that the drive is mapped through the network. The web and remote control response is also slower on the laptop, partly because the laptop is not dedicated and runs many other processes. And mostly because of the ailment of Windoze and especially Windoze Vista. So for me, the QNAP TS-219P is also acceptable. My experience with QNAP is extremely positive, built quality is superb, software is excellent, and the fan is whisper quiet. Comparatively my Thecus N299 is built with cheap plastic and the fan sounds like a old Chevette disel with a broken tailpipe. Thecus N299 also had zero firmware update since its introduction, had no spin down for hard disks, their so called support never answered my repeated email for help, not even once. Whatever you do, think twice before buying Thecus. -- agentsmith System 1: Transporter+Hi-Line RCA-DIN, Naim 202/200/Hicap+Powerline/NAPSC, Naim NAT03 tuner, CD5X, Harbeth Monitor 30 System 2: SB2 or Airport Express connected via TOSLINK to a Meridian F80 Headphone: Naim Headline+NAPSC and ancient Senn HD580 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ agentsmith's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1838 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66331 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
