My listening habits are like Chris above: typically full albums. To the OPs question when this thread was started last year, I use a Synology 115j for both music storage and LMS.
Its a low end, single bay NAS. Works great unless LMS is scanning the library, then everything slows to a crawl. With automated scanning at night, this isnt a concern of course. I would like to switch to something that will tell me when storage starts to go bad. Whether thats my single drive, or multiple drives, I dont think matters to me since Id have to envoke a backup. Actually, I suppose thats incorrect. A multi-drive RAID should alert me and permit replacing the drive in-place ... I know everyone says a RAID is never a backup, but if the system tells you to swap in a new drive, and you do it, youve essentially fixed and backed up the data, in a practical sense. Obviously, for the sake of that example Im ignoring a physical breach of the NAS, or the NAS hardware or its OS ruining the array somehow. Remember the old days, when all you had to worry about was fire or flood? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ deckeda's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=57139 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106844
