QNAP Vinpower Digital TVS-882BR Blu-ray NAS
QNAP partnered with Vinpower Digital, a leading supplier in Optical Disc hardware and media solutions, to integrate Vinpower's industrial-grade blu-ray optical disc drive for the TVS-882BR Blu-ray NAS series.
This allows users to write NAS-based content directly onto CD, DVD, or Blu-ray optical discs as an additional back-up solution.The TVS-882BR series provides an excellent solution for storing large amount of digital contents and allows for easy sharing through a network. However, it's always recommended to follow a "3-2-1" rule when storing digital content. The "3-2-1" rule represents having at least three copies of your data, of which two should be stored on two different media and one backup copy should be kept offsite. This rule is specifically designated for protecting against natural disasters that could potentially destroy all property and data stored in an affected region. That is why QNAP had the foresight to also include a Blu-ray writer drive onto theTVS-882BR Blu-ray NAS series.
"In the past year, we've seen a number of natural disasters that have destroyed whole communities, making storing content in a single location alone highly dangerous and susceptible to complete data loss," said Ryan Swerdloff, Vice President of Vinpower Digital. "Utilizing the optical disc writer drive on the TVS-882BR series provides an added layer of protection not found on most common NAS back-up solutions. In essence, it's an added level of insurance added to an excellent secure storage solution, similar to getting earthquake or flood insurance on top of your standard home insurance policy. You may never need to use it, but should the worst case scenario happen, you'll be protected and relieved you had it."

QNAP is really firing on all cylinders with this product cycle.
this nas isn't just great for archival purposes - it's great for the home entertainment environment and simplifies video libraries without added equipment. again they eliminate the need for most purpose built home nas at a very competitive price - and without the whole hassle of installing an o.s., updating bios, having to buy a case with a 5.25" drive, etc...
The cheapest model with blu-ray drive is $3,000 on Amazon. I like Qnap products and own a standard 4 bay NAS that I use for all my DVDs/BluRays but this is way out of reach for most people. The NAS I have with 4 HDD's + cheap PC to rip the movies can be had for half the price of this device.

true.
but there is an application that makes a large amount of sense for a particular market - high end home automation (smart homes). there are a couple of vendors selling even more expensive electronics (same function). while this may be $3k, the GUI and OS do not require command line to operate, unlike the market leaders (in the U.S. at least). along with an internet connection, a phone, and a receiver bought from any one of several brands you have true multi-room home automation (plus a couple of hundred dollars worth of relays and switches and wire - or Sonos). On the cheap with touchscreen interfaces/remotes. instead of starting at $20k
