OK ... I've finally gotten this sorted, and I actually like the setup
for the Infrant NV+ a lot. I had a frustrating week trying to get my
linksys wireless router to talk to other devices, and finally went to
Best Buy and bought a NetGear wireless router.
The problems resolved themselves,
i got a readynas 1100+ for my radio station, and it seems slow just
serving up mp2's at 256kbps! i really didn't anticipate it would be
problematic, but it has been.
i'm not sure if its the network switch or what, but the problems are
annoying.
it had SS builtin btw, but i don't use it or
Thanks everyone for the input. This certainly motivates me to make the
switch. Let me see if I can talk to Slim Devices about a return

Why is the Thecus a better NAS?
The Thecus N5200 is much *much* faster. The original N5200 uses a
600MHz Celeron M processor ad cmes with 256MB of RAM. This in itself is
faster than the Infrant which uses a IT3107 Network Storage Processor.
This is designed for RAID
I just ordered a Thecus N5200PRO BR, the version with the four port
switch. I have an Infrant ReadyNAS NV that I use just to back up my
music which is stored in a 1.5TB Raid 0 Array on my main PC. The
ReadyNAS is so slow just running the Web application to manage it that
I wouldn't even want to
So I'm curious ... Logitech bundled the Infrant NAS with their
squeezeboxes, and I assumed that this was some sort of imprimature ...

Yes, I've done some research, but I'm not at all an expert on NAS's ...
I was hoping a bundle would obviate the need for deep
I just purchased the Squeezebox 2-bundle with the Infrant ReadyNAS NV+
... now I've loaded RAIDar onto my computer (a Lenovo Thinkpad T60 with
Vista) and ... well ... nothing. It doesn't see the NAS.
I'm presuming this should be pretty straightforward, since no 'Getting
Started' instructions

Is there something I'm missing?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Did you do your research? Most people won't go near a ReadyNAS. If
you're still within your return period I'd suggest returning it and
purchasing a Thecus N5200PRO.
