No problems at all with 312,505 tracks. Here's a little video. Keep in mind that in the ROCK is using all four cores to analyze the entire collection as I recorded this video. Its resources are taxed heavily during this process. 

 

 

thank you for the video,after analyze as finnished would the i7 nuc rock not be taxed as much?

Correct. The i7 ROCK won't be taxed much at all I suspect.

My guess is that you'd be totally fine. I'd definitely try it before purchasing a USB 3 version. 

thank you from the uk for great input
