Thanks again Arindal.

After contemplating my present options and considering what to do, running a Roon Server on NUC, seems inviting. As my QNAP NAS was specifically for in-home storage and with its well-known life limitations, I thought why not buy another NAS for FLAC file storage and point the new NUC to the new NAS?

I like the specs & cost of these two:

  • Asustor AS1102T - 2 Bay NAS, 1.4GHz Quad Core, Single 2.5GbE Port, 1GB RAM DDR4, $179
  • Asustor AS5202T - 2 Bay NAS, 2.0GHz Dual-Core, 2 2.5GbE Ports, 2GB RAM DDR4, $259

Now that the subject has changed, I created this new post:
