    QNAP TS439 or Thecus N5500

    Thanks for the reply...a $200 rebate from Netgear swung me over that way. I really miss the eSATA port both QNAP and Thecus offered. I also didn't notice the Netgear was missing camera support. BTW, I only paid $10 more than your pricing to buy 2TB Hitachi drives... $154 ea including...

    N7700 vs. Ready NAS Pro vs. TS-639 Advice Please

    Thanks for the reply. I have ordered a Netgear ReadyNAS Pro Biz edition which should arrive Thursday and I hope the drives arrive by then as well, in addition to extra RAM.

    Intel Network Storage Server - SS4200E buy.com $135

    Hiya... When I click the RAID5 link you provided the header says it is a NAS test, doesn't mention RAID5? Perhaps the test is really a RAID5 test, but doesn't give any context? Most of the NAS boxes are slim on CPU and run a Linux variant. If a person takes a typical cast off PC...

    Intel Network Storage Server - SS4200E buy.com $135

    Dropped off the NAS chart? What chart is that? I have a ReadyNAS Pro on order which I intend to use to back up my PCs, stream media, etc. Now I need another box to backup the NAS to. I just need raw storage, no extra features. Just a box to backup to. Debating building a box from my...

    Dear Mr. Easy, Thanks so much for fixing that. Glad to find it wasn't me. Was broke since Oct. but you took this moment to fix it? I am honored. My avatar isn't as cute as yours :) Lew

    unable to save avatar?

    OK.... I see half the problem. I was trying to add a profile picture. I did see what you were saying for the add an avatar section. Either way, I am unable to add a picture for my profile *OR* add an avatar picture. Just isn't working. Next idea?

    unable to save avatar?

    Hiya...tried to spiff up my profile with a picture. I tried both the browse local computer and grab pic from the net, neither worked. I made my pic 100X100, tried jpg and gif...kept saying "unable to safe file" or something like that.

    QNAP TS439 or Thecus N5500

    Only one company whose products I am considering wasn't in your list, and that was Netgear. Will I be able to reliably use a Pro with a PS3 and some other wireless media player OK? Since that is one of my priority applications, I wanted to be sure the NAS I bought would work well with...

    N7700 vs. Ready NAS Pro vs. TS-639 Advice Please

    Was hoping a QNAP 639 person would come along and tell me why to buy a QNAP instead of a Netgear Pro, or the other way around. I am really bugged by the lack of eSATA support on the Pro, same with the lack of a VGA port to attach a monitor to. Basically these boxes are servers with some...

    N7700 vs. Ready NAS Pro vs. TS-639 Advice Please

    I apologize...it appears I misread the charts or didn't have something checked I thought I did. The 639 didn't show up after checking something and it threw me off. I am "stuck" on my decision. I talked to a corporate IT friend of mine. He has a corporate mindset that tells him only to buy...

    N7700 vs. Ready NAS Pro vs. TS-639 Advice Please

    Dear Mr. Tim, I am honored you chose to reply to my questions. I referred to the proprietary processor in the sentence in which I was discussing the Synology line, not Netgear. Even if the Marvell or Freescale processors are considered "mainstream" to some, they aren't to me. I prefer...

    N7700 vs. Ready NAS Pro vs. TS-639 Advice Please

    Would love to have a 7-bay system at their very competitive price, but the review of it scared me away together with your comments. Synology was actually at the top of my list but I began to get concerned about the lack of a review for the new system and the fact they are still running a...
