I installed Minim on my QNAP and would like to use Minim in a future set-up. This new Setup does not include QNAP, Synology or Netgear as none of them can give me a fanless NAS. I must have the NAS near to the Music Server and the QNAP ist too loud.
Do you have any plans to make Minim available on WD MyBook and/or Seagate Goflex? These are the only fanless NAS I could find.
Any other NAS suggestions from you or the Forum?
The only other alternative is an expensive HFX AssetNAS, but I'd rather spend the Euros on the Music Server.
Thanx in advance for any help.

I understand your requirement for a fanless NAS. I have a QNAP TS-119 which I bought used on eBay, and I'm very pleased with it. They come up for sale from time to time.

Another option is the new Synology DS-213j. This is not fanless, but it has a very low noise level of 17 dB(A). According to this article:

The DS213j has the same white chassis we've seen on the entry-level NAS, but has a faster 1.2 GHz Marvell ARM controller with 512 MB of RAM. Synology has really tried to make this a quiet NAS, with a more silent rubber-mounted fan and rubber feet for the disks.

I'm not planning to make a MinimServer package for either the WD My Book Live or Seagate GoFlex, mainly because these don't support installable third-party packages.
