Previously, it ran into trouble scanning the media files (probably due to the number of items), and sometimes stopped working at all with my Logitech devices. Perhaps an in-memory database size issue?
NFS and SMB is as could be expected.
Streaming is more or less the same, but then again it was fine to being with.
I have therefore done no speed tests, so I can't really detect any improvement there.
(Audio is mostly mp3 <256 Kb/s, and video is MPEG2 or AVC <6 Mb/s TS bitrates.)
All-in-all: stil covers the house-hold's regular needs.
And still below 50% capacity used...
Pure streaming doesn't tax a NAS (even the older sparc ones) - even 4K is at most 12-13 MB/sec. You might see some uplift in SMB/NFS speeds, but I'm thinking the whole point of this was to get LMS to work well.
Sounds like a successful upgrade - Thx for following up.
