And do you lose much speed wise running a SATA3 SSD in one of the SATAII capable small NAS's?

There will be no difference between SSD and HDD for browsing, because MinimServer does this entirely in memory. When you select a song for playing, it might start about 0.1 second quicker from SSD compared with HDD. You won't get any benefit from SATA 3 over SATA II. Restarting MinimServer will be substantially quicker from SSD compared with HDD.

Thanks Simon. Just the precise answer I was after. I think I'll get a QNAP TS-119 II and put in an SSD anyway: just for the heck of it.

At least it will be quite and run on the smell of an oily rag. Cheers.
