Might make sense to open a thread similar to the Media Ripping Thread:
Will start with my setup (which copying from another thread I posted this earlier this year):
Music Files Data Storage and Backup Strategy
my music files are all being stored on a 2-bay NAS (Synology 218+) in RAID 1 mode, i.e. the 2 x 6TB HD drives on the NAS (file size of the music library is about 1.6 TB) are mirrored and have identical content.
Each night the contents are backed up in the Cloud (I am using C2 service from Synology) plus I make regular backups of the music library to an external HD via USB.
Music Media Server
Like many other users here I have Roon subscription for accessing my media library.
Roon requires a pretty decent CPU (computer) to run the Roon Server which Roon calls „Roon core“.
This can be basically any computer but the CPU of a NAS is usually a bit too weak for this purpose.
I am using a fanless NUC computer to run the Roon core (with the music stored on the NAS) but a Mac Mini can also be used.
