A single drive nas is just a disk unless you have to use it for other things like file sharing etc. It is ALWAYS better to have media storage on the core machine, even if it’s via USB for Roon

So for the ‘heart’ data i’m an idiot. Roon had defaulted to a dummy testing profile so there were no ‘hearts’. I’ve now deleted that profile and yes all my metadata is still in the normal profile. Now just leaves the slow library scanning (but i’ve set that to only scan every 24hrs. Hopefully it’s …

Roon may not directly, but SMB does!

I don’t have a directly analogous system - ROCK hardwired ti a 1Gb switch to a 2X1Gb into the (Qnap) - but scanning is brisk. If I go into settings and rescan the appropriate storage after adding, say, an album It comes up within a minute or two at most. And I have a lot of files!

That nas is going to be slow…better to connect the disk directly to your core via usb

10k albums isn’t what I would call a small library so this linked post might contain useful information: [image] My experiences with Rock and a 500k+ tracks library ROCK I hate NAS’s for music storage. I know that some people like them/need them, and we do support them, b…

Do you know of any recommendations on when to use NAS vs DAS. Roon pushes you to NAS but it appears severely deficient (to the point of unusable) in certain situations. Would be nice to have a guide to assist.

[image] wizardofoz: It is ALWAYS better to have media storage on the core machine I disagree. This is mainly a function of the capabilities of the NAS. The baby DS108 the OP has is very underpowered, so yes, this would be a true statement for them. But a larger NAS will generally have WAY …

I run 2 nas one as backup…I know all about roon and large libraries, mine is 270k tracks on an 8 bay 40+tb nas. But you are ignoring the fact that the best place is still to have your music direct attached to the core. Maybe when I can get a single 20TB drive to put locally I will do that. Most p…

DS108 is a bottom of the range NAS which will be massively underpowered to run Roon. No surprise the performance is slow.
