[slim] Will SB3 work with WRTSL54GS, a router with USB2 port for network storage?
I searched but could not find information. I wonder if SB3 would recognize HD attached to USB port of a Linksys WRTSL54GS router. This router has a USB2.0 port for network storage purpose.

Maybe that's why the audiophile guys want > it in a big box, less heat means less thermal noise (kTB). :o) That is what I am thinking. But surprisingly, I cannot feel the difference when it is working or idle. Just a little bit warm. So it is not consuming a lot of power when it is streaming music. -- Roy2001 ---- Roy2001's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5731 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25100 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Even my laptop which is in standby mode. I am not blaming SB3. Actually I really enjoy it. It is just the fact that it is warm no matter you are streaming the music or not. -- Roy2001 Roy2001's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5731 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25100 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Why is no one whining about this? No, I am not worrying about the bill. I have a computer runs 24/7 for 8+ years. I am just curious as I assume SB3 should be like other comsumer equipments which consume as little as 3W when idle. -- Roy2001 -------- Roy2001's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5731 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25100 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
