I've managed to squirrel away 4 x 750 Samsung 753LJ HDD's and £400.
I've my eye on two NAS devices:-
Synology CS407
http://www.synologystore.com/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=3
£320 x 1.15 = £368
Or the :
QNAP 409 Pro
Approx £384
The tests HERE are quite revealing.
The Thecus N4100Pro can be had for approx £400

Iv'e been looking for some time now, I need a NAS compatible with the HDD's I have, which the Synology is now I note. I want RAID5 so need 4 bay.
My main stress for the NAS will be streaming 1080p 1:1 BluRay files with total bitrate of circa 50Mb/s so the fact that the Thecus can achieve speeds nearly double the CS407 is a big plus.
The Thecus forum, or lack thereof of one with any activity is a big disadvantage though as this is my first NAS device.
Funds are limited to what ive squirrelled, what have others experienced?
