I currently use XBMC Windows on a Zotac HD-ID11 Box, with all of my media stored on 2x2TB drives in a DNS-323 NAS.
Is there a way to have XBMC pre-access the NAS while browsing, so that when you decide to play a file, you don't have to wait the 5 seconds for the NAS to spin up the drives at that point?
I realize that setting the NAS to prevent the drives from spinning down is an option, but I'd like to extend the live of my drives as long as possible, so I was seeing if this was possible via XBMC, or a feature to add in a future release.
