Server software does not have to be installed on a NAS; indeed, for a long time Asset, for example, was Windows only. But Simon strongly recommends that the server software is run on the the device on which the media files reside, and doesn't access, for example, remote network folders, because this will seriously compromise the performance of the server. So the main reason for running MinimServer on a NAS is that that is where the music files are.

Thank you! Can you go into more detail about how the performance of the server will be compromised? Are you talking about sonic compromises? I have Minimserver running on an old ATOM 525 PC with transcoding at it works great. Unfortunately for me I cant even test Minimserver on my NAS since I have a really old Thecus N4100Pro. I know I need to upgrade but the Thecus still does its job and I am able to stream 1080p movies just fine with it.
