I definitely plan to do the upgrade but will wait until their results are posted before buying. Besides, the way RAM prices are dropping, it may be almost free by then! -- Jetlag Jetlag's Profile: http://forums.slimdevice

the memory testing will be because of the internal re-design of the unit, previously the X6/600 used regular sixed DIMM modules -- funkstar funkstar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2335 View this

I just installed m new X6 and the Infrant version of SS. It appears that they have now set the default to have library statistics off. -- Jetlag Jetlag's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1012 View

I have 400Gb of flacs as well and a set up very similar to the one listed above. TURN OFF THE LIBRARY STATISTICS! This option is *only* available in the infrant version of slimserver (under server settings->performance). 99% of operations should be every bit as good as with a dedicated server, t

I upgraded the NAS ram to 1GB and disabled statistics. Approximately 400 GB of files, scan completes in under 1 hour, scheduled for early AM. SlimServer response is sluggish via the Squeezebox remote, but certainly usable. I am able to stream to several SBs simultaneously, without gaps. Jim

I read a few tips on the Infrant site specifically for improving the speed of SS on the X6, maybe they will help in your situation. I could not find the link, but it dealt with turning of "statistics" in SS. This option is ONLY in the Infrant version of SS. I have not yet used it, so I cannot t

I have a ReadyNas 600 with 1.6 TB and find it to be extremely slow when used with the Slimserver. I have roughly 400 GB of mainly FLAC music. Scanning the music library can literally take all day and the Slimserver is basically unusable during that time. I am not convinced that the difficulties t
