I am contemplating the purchase of a NAS as a music Server running minimserver. I am looking at either a qnap ts-119p II or a Synology ds112. The qnap seems to be a good choice but I much prefer the Synology GUI. However, I have concerns if the ds112 is powerful enough to run minimserver smoothly considering the slower processor and less RAM compared to the qnap. Has anyone experience with running minimserver on a ds112?
Another option would be the ds112+ which seems to have an ARM processor unlike the ds213+ which has a PPC. But if a ds112 is sufficient this would be my preferred choice.

Thanks.

The DS112 has a 1.6 GHz ARM processor. This should be more than adequate for running MinimServer. I'm running MinimServer on a NAS with a 1.2 GHz ARM processor, and I'm happy with the performance.
