You're probably right. I just thought people might like to know what the limitations are. The specifications don't even state the type or speed of processor so its very hard to know what its going to be like until you try one.
Maybe 7Mb/sec isn't bad for a 100Mbit network connection. The Qnap is supposed to have a 1Gbit network connection. I didn't say it was unusable, only that it was slower than I would have liked. Don't forget there will be people hoping to use a PDA or a Nokia 770 as a remote. I'm not saying it isn't a good device. Its just that the slow processor means its not quite as flexible as I had hoped. But then I don't imagine anyone was expecting a Pentium 4 for the price. ultra238a Wrote: > To be honest I think you might be trying to push the box a little bit > too hard by playing FLAC files and copying files to the box at the same > time.
