I have a Nova and I want to use an external hard drive via USB. It works very well for me with the Naim app. However, when I check from page 192.168.1.33, the test shows excessive RAM and CPU usage. Without the external drive, the usage is normal. I suppose it has to do with indexing and embedded covers. Could something be wrong? Is my Nova at risk if I use it under this load? The drive is a 1TB HDD with an external power supply so it doesn’t draw power from the port. Does anyone have any ideas or experience? I could store the files on a Mac mini, but I prefer to keep things simple. Thanks.
I use a little 1To SSD in USB on my NOVA PE. never thought to look at the ram and cpu usage.
it just works

The red light is on in the RAM section of the diagnostics page. I wouldn’t take that lightly.
I wouldn’t sweat it too much it just means its low on ram, sounds like its indexing. Worse case is the thing crashes and you reboot it.
