I recently moved from Netgear ReadyNAS Ultra 2 to a Synology DS716+II. I was very happy with my ReadyNAS Ultra. Logitech makes official nightly builds for it. Also the Intel processor gave full support for pretty much any plugins and add-ons, especially after I found out how to install IO::Socket::SSL on it. But in the end I decided to make a switch for security reasons, because there's no SMBv2+ support on it (I have now disabled SMBv1 on my devices for security reasons) and the ReadyNAS doesn't receive security patches anymore. My choice was DS716+II because -I have the impression- Synology has a good reputation and keeps their devices updated for a long time. Again Intel processor for best possible support, and even though there are no official nightly builds for it, pinkdot has his LmsUpdate and LmsRepack projects for regularly updated nightlies. Also the of size of the NAS is perfect to fit in my CD-rack (like the readyNAS also was) ;-) Unfortunately pinkdot ain't making new LmsUpdate/LmsRepack builds anymore, but I think there's a very good change somebody will take over this (If I get too desperate I might even try myself, it sounds like it shouldn't be too complicated). Well, just my reasoning for choosing the DS716+II. There's probably also good reasons to make other choices :-) */Stig* 'www.*rockland*.dk' (http://www.rockland.dk) - 'www.*last.fm*/user/rockland' (https://last.fm/user/rockland) - 'www.*discogs*.com/user/StigNygaard' (https://discogs.com/user/StigNygaard) - '*plus.google*.com/+StigNygaard' (https://google.me/+StigNygaard) *Server:* LMS 7.9.1 ('LmsRepack' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?107180)) - 1503129892 @ Sat Aug 19 on Synology DS716+II. *Clients:* 'RPi3 (Max2Play, 7\" touch, HiFiBerry Digi+ Pro)' (https://shop.max2play.com/en/raspberry-pi-2-bundle-7-display.html), SB Touch, OrangeSqueeze/SqueezePlayer. *Livingroom HiFi:* Marantz PM6005 and F3/Lyd Audiovector 2.
