Looking for a NAS (~8TB usable space) to use with MediaPortal (1 Viewer)

The delay would only be when starting media playing as you would have to have the drives spin up on your NAS.

Yeah, I am having no problem with this. If hdds sleep and are beeing accessed for a media playing, the wait time is ok for me. What bugs me is the delay on MP-startup.

I would test the speed up by disabling the drives in your htpc first to see if it improves.

Yes, will do that!

They don't spin up sequentially the spin up in parallel.

Mine two are parallel too, but I see huge hdd access after resume. But maybe you are right and its doing something else. Will investigate further...
