Hi! I'm a CATV tech from the Chicago area. I have this great project box that cost me all of nothing. A big full size rack mount PC box with an EVGA 132-BL-E758, Xeon 4 core processor and 12GB of RAM and stuffed with a few HDDs (I don't know a lot about computer hardware, I can break it and eventually, usually get it back up and running). I used it for 3 years as a Squeezebox Music Server using FreeNas, then Ubuntu, then Windows 7. I can't say how many times I broke it, got it working perfectly, fiddled with it and broke it, got it working again, on and on. I have now moved my Squeezebox server to a Dell 9020 using WIN10. I was going to scrap the EVGA then I discovered Xpenology. I booted up 3617xs DSM6.2, and I am loving it. I'm mainly using it to backup my PC, Music and photos (I have 1.3 TB of FLAC and MP3 music). I cant wait to see how it handles Squeezebox server. Thanks to all of you geniuses that wrote these loaders and processes and to the guys making the great, easy to follow video tutorials! You guys are keeping a lot of old metal and electronics out of the landfills!
Sorry for the late reply but thanks for the info. I am still running on a thumb drive and it has been flawless. Thanks again!
