Just make sure you select a NAS with an x86 processor. I have run LMS on both a ReadyNAS NV+ and a NVX. While LMS runs fine on both models, the NVX with an x86 processor is very fast. The performance difference of LMS on both models is very noticeable. Never had one issue with ReadyNAS and I would stick with these. They are very well build, are packed with wonderful features and there is great support through their forums. Yes the frontview pages dont look too slick but that is not important for a NAS. The performance, built quality and feature set is whats important. You cant go wrong with ReadyNAS. For now, I would get the ULTRA series. LMS is supported on these and you might get a good deal on it. Dont worry about support; netgear has committed themselves to continue support and even bug fixes if required on these models. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pascal Hibon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7969 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98394
