Guillaume's hi-fi system

[octaviars]

This is simple and wonderful upgrade (not in terms of costing etc) but with "1TB SSD" on board for Roon, is very cool in terms of speed, SQ etc. This resolves many issues during audio files transportation over WIFI/ETH. No more gathering of audio files from NAS though switch to Roon to ETH Dev/ USB/ etc. Now the audio files are truly local and Roon loves this.

NAS will now become only for back up. This is exactly what I was looking for when I buy NUC with 1TB SSD. NAS is now Back up only and not for actively sending bit-stream to all devices.

I guess, it all depends on how much disk space one needs. If it goes beyond 1TB then bigger SSD can be bought in future with 3D-NAND coming up or some audio files can still be on NAS, or a SSD HDD can be USB connected to the device itself.

You have a 64GB SSD disk that runs Roon and other services on the sonicTransport, the 1TB or 2TB SSD disk is an option if you want to store music on it.

Storage:

• 64GB SSD for server database (Roon Server, Squeezebox, DLNA) no local music storage.
  
• Optional internal storage for music libary
  
• Compatible with any USB attached hard drive
  
• Compatible with almost any NAS (Synology, QNAP, Western Digital, Buffalo)
