I dont know why anyone bothers with these low spec NAS's. always expensive and only do storage, limited utilities. you should all get what I have and wait until the offers arrive(quite often cash back offers), HP Proliant Micro Server. 4 x 3-1/2 bays and 1 5-1/4 bay for optical drive USB everywhere, esata, internal USB and MOST importantly low profile PCI-E express slot. so what does this mean. It's basically a whole PC that I installed Windows 7 on. dual core amd at 2.2ghz and 2gb ram (upgradable) I put an ATI 6450 in which gives me sound and 1080p capable video play back via HDMI. Blu Ray drive in the ODD slot and 4 x 2gb drives. I serve files around my home via the 1gb ethernet and run XBMC , an nntp client , etc, it's powerful enough for some games including MAME and N64 , Megadrive, SNES etc which I play via Xbox 360 pad and Wireless receiver. the server after cashback cost me £110 which inculded a 250gb drive. another £30 or so for the Ati 6450 and then 2tb drives and its a FAR cheaper and MUCH more useful NAS than all these "new" ones popping up hugely over priced.

This isn't a NAS It's a multi-bay enclosure If you want a proper NAS you should probably be looking for something with NAS in the title
