ReadyNAS and Roon
Does anyone know if Roon will run on a ReadyNAS Pro? If so, how? Thanks!

Hi RoSko,
Welcome to the community.
Are you referring to the Roon server?
Looking at its requirements, I do not think the ReadyNAS PRO can handle it.
They would require about 4GB or RAM and an SSD HDD for it.
Also, you can probably ask some people from Roon forums (if they have one).

Which Pro? Pro 6/BE/Pioneer CPU can be upgraded, but it has no USB3 for the SSD. I suppose you could put an SSD internal, though the trays lack the proper mounting holes and they are only SATA II. OS 6.x would be a must. Pro 2 and 4 undoubtedly lack the CPU horsepower and cannot be upgraded.
Better, I think, to run the server on a micro-PC and have it serve up music from the NAS.
