- High end read throughput (> 15 Mbps)
- Gigabit Ethernet
- Samba/CIFS server
- Easy configuration
- Scriptable remote configuration/setup
- Easy installation of TwonkyMedia server
NAS that Linn have approved* for use:
- Infrant ReadyNAS NV+
- An approved device is one that meets all the system requirements for that product type, and has additionally been tested by Linn. Many other non-approved devices will work perfectly well with DS players. However, it is possible you will encounter issues with poorly implemented third-party products that impact the performance of the DS system.
