Many modern NAS boxes is at 1GB ram or more ( except the dirt cheap ones , but except the performance ).
Stability , my HP microserver with ClearOS Linux is rock solid it is only a LMS server it does nothing else . That is a stable way ,buy some( any ) mini/micro computer run a conservative stable Linux on it use internal SATA drives . OS on a separate drive ( can be SSD ) At some piont the size of the music library start to eat performance and if got multiple players and uses iOS or andriod app the demands a lot of scaled artwork to be presented . Depending on settings web-UI can take performance too At 42900 tracks and 4 players I think my server is in the sweet spot re performance :) Energy consumption WOL is your friend don't run it 24/7 my server is only on when I'm home at night 4-5 hours I turn it of when I sleep and wake it when get home from work. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
