I read the following from "Roonify" your USB drive or NAS with the sonicTransporter
“We does all out testing here with a 250K+ music library to make sure the Roon user interface is responsive. That is the point of the product is you don’t need to worry about the specs and you know it will work.”
So I thought I was good. In any case I’m in for the i5 sonictransporter.
