RE: Roon on NAS

- I've been running Roon Core on my 2-bay Synology DS718+ NAS for a couple years now. It has a modest Intel Celeron quad-core CPU and 6 GB of RAM with 2 4TB spinning disks - and no SSDs. Pretty much a CPU/Disk configuration that Roon warns against.

- Prior to the NAS I had Roon on my 2012 Mac Mini 2.6GHz i7 quad-core with two SSD and 16GB of RAM.

If I were running heavy duty DSP and had a large library I would place Roon back on the Mac Mini. I don't run DSP except for the very occasional parametric EQ and my library is about 1000 albums. In this case, Roon runs fine on the low end NAS.
