which NAS for Asset ?
Is it possible to install Asset UPnP on either a Qnap 209 or a Netgear Duo NAS ? If not , are there any stand alone NAS that Asset can be installed on ?

Re: which NAS for Asset ?
If you are not aware, Asset appears on the RipNAS (www.ripnas.com) as default.
Or you can choose any Windows Home Server NAS device (such as HP Media Smart, etc). |

Thanks Spoon,
The RipNas looks great, but I need to use a standalone NAS. I presume that there is no way of installing it on a Linux NAS, such as the Netgear or Qnap. |

No, they have very limited processing power and memory.

OK, you've convinced me to buy a WHS 4bay, 4 x 1 TB NAS that I can install Asset on. The question is, which one ?

The Tranquil SQA-5H-2000 looks a good bet. Is it easy to install Asset on it and is it a good buy ?

Re: which NAS for Asset ?
As a company we cannot recommend any Tranquil boxes - if I had to buy one right now it would be the acer easystore:

Re: which NAS for Asset ?
Thanks Spoon, I'll take your advice. All I need to do now is research where I can buy the Acer and the best price.

However I have the (non-Ripper) SQA-5H-2000 and bought RipNAS Essentials which works very well (apart form the inbuilt occasional quirks of dbPowerAmp track mis-naming), so you can have the best of all worlds, a much higher spec (than the Acer). Try ripcaster.co.uk who will set up the whole lot for you (I did). Regards...TomP |

Re: which NAS for Asset ?
This all seems a bit academic, since I haven't found anywhere in the UK that has the Acer Aspire Easystore H340 in stock ! The product looks great, the reviews are great, it's just that you can't buy it ! Can you help, Spoon ?

 - does Asset function as a media server? If so, why would you need to install Asset when I presume the HP has a media server built in? Reason I ask is that a Linn forum member uses a Buffalo Linkstation Live with a built-in media server which is says works well with Kinsky Desktop. I would like to use the NAS with an itouch on which I've loaded plugplayer.Could you run through a simple step by step procedure on loading Asset and getting it to function with an i touch for a Linn DS? Would be much appreciated!? Still running it directly from a laptop so start up time is tedious  .Thank you TL |

If you are happy with Twonky on the HP, but there are many who are not, hence why we created Asset - we had the choice to license Twonky, but took the decision to write our own, because we were far from impressed.
