Mac Mini or NAS for UPNP and streaming?
Posted by: Yetizone on 30 April 2016
hi all,
I’ve just noticed that over on the illustrate website there is a version of Asset for Mac OSX. My question is this: Is it essential to use a NAS to stream ripped media or can I just use my 2012 i7 Mac Mini with Direct Attached Storage? Our Mini is always cable linked to the router so would I be able to bypass the NAS altogether.
I only ask as I have numerous high ish capacity external DAS hard drives / enclosures surplus from my work that I could utilise for the task of media storage in a RAID1, plus additional drives for back up.
Can anyone please expand a little over the pros & cons of using either a Mini or a NAS for the UPNP?
