I agree. I still use their Mybooklive 2TB for the home network and for the most part has been stable. I hope someone besides Synology and Qnap has a decent economy NAS for the home.

Both companies have a 1 bay NAS that is quite inexpensive and has the same good NAS management software is the larger ones.

It depends on what kind of usage you're looking at.

I had a Buffalo Linkstation LS-VL for about 4 years and for an economy NAS (1TB integrated drive for ~$175) it was dependable. It wasn't fast and it wasn't overly taxed either.

I replaced it with a ZyXEL NSA310 and I've been using it fine for a couple of weeks. However, as I started turning up machines for backup and enabling stuff like DLNA, the CPU usage started creeping up. With a lot going over the network, the performance degradation becomes noticeable.

I'm going back to the QNAP TS112P. I tried one for about a week and decided it was more than what I needed but I learned my lesson the hard way.
