Before downloading the trial of Roon, I am trying to install the RoonServer share onto a SSD. I have followed Christopher’s instructions but keep reaching the messgae…
This package is not supported on this platform of DiskStation
Model name: DS415 Play
DSM Version: DSM 6.0.1-7393 Update 2
The CPU in this model is INTEL Atom CE5335
I am unable to find whether this is a 64bit CPU on the Synology website, but guess it may be the same problem as was the case with Dominique Brulhart
Thanks for the quick reply Chris, but I actually have the DS415 Play.…according to your website list (the last item) it is in fact a 64 bit CPU…Intel Atom CE5335
If you have a perfectly usable NAS and want to run a Roon setup then instead of spending money on a new NAS I would get a cheap NUC (or similar) and use that instead for Roon. The performance will be significantly better too.
Your assumption is right: the DS416 familiy uses an ARM CPU, the exception being the 416Play which uses a 64-bit Intel Celeron CPU.
While Roonserver will run on that model, please be informed that it is below the recommended system specs and will give sub-par performance on any moderately sized library (say: 15.000 tracks and over).
You would be much better served by an Intel i3 or i5 based server in any form or shape, with an SSD for storing Roon’s database.
