Which NAS to run with SONOS system?

[brianmcr]

Pretty much decided to buy a SONOS system after my Arcam CD73 gave up. Thinking of going for a ZoneBridge to connect to my router/PC which is located in a spare bedroom witha CR200 controller and ZP90 to connect to my hifi/home cinema setup in my sitting room, can add other zones when/if I wish to at a later date. Not sure which NAS to go for which I will also locate in the spare bedroom. Was looking at the Western Digital My Book World Edition II 2TB, any thoughts? I also have a PS3 so could use the NAS to stream video to my PS3 in the sitting room.

Nope, that'll work.

Got my SONOS yesterday, zonebridge and ZP90 with CR200 all set up in about 20 minutes. No problems adding a zone at all. That NAS is on my wishlist next or possibly the buffalo linkstation duo 2*1TB. Let me know how you get on with the NAS 🙂

I've struggled to find any NAS with which the SONOS won't work...

Good luck in your quest

They are out there, Sonos has a non-compatibility list (it's quicker than a compatibility list) on their website but they're all odd things that aren't really NAS's in the first place.

I use a Buffalo Linkstation Live. Reliable and no probs, easy to set up as well (good job as I'm a computer noob)

I'm using Western Digital with my Sonos. No problems whatsoever so far.
