    QNAP TS-410 or Synology 411j

    I agree, however I do plan to upgrade to 500mbps powerlines in the near future to exploit the speeds the lower end NAS's can offer. I am even giving though to running cat5e / 6 cabling around the house. Your comment on CPU pushes me toward the synology. Good question, the reason I've narrowed...

    QNAP TS-410 or Synology 411j

    Right, deep breath.......... From what I can make out - more RAM would afford you better concurrent usage - whereas more processor will give you better throughput (anyone feel free to jump in a correct). For me the priority is to put in place something better than my WD My Book 2TB, currently...

    QNAP TS-410 or Synology 411j

    Hi All, I'm desperate for some helper choosing the right NAS for me to upgrade my WD My Book World Edition 2TB. I've narrowed down to the QNAP TS-410 or the Synology 411j based on them both being 4 bays under £300. The usage is a home media environment across a 200mbps powerline (will be...

    eSATA Interface - Do I need one?

    General NAS Questions

    Thanks for the response Tim - although QNAP Comparison charts suggest that it doesn't get up past 30W in operation - even at the high end. I think you are right it must mean without drives, a bit abiguous. http://www.qnap.com/images/products/comparison/Comparison_4BayNAS.html I've started...

    eSATA Interface - Do I need one?

    Simple question - should this be a decider when I buy my new NAS? I have concerns about expandability when the time comes that the NAS is full. At that point the ideal would to expand using the eSata port - but looking at the price of the synology 510 expansion - it costs more than say...

    General NAS Questions

    Absolutely - I'll probably go with an off-site (S3) backup for a particular share which will hold all the critical stuff I wan backed up. This will allow me to use the remaining storage for non-critical stuff which can be replaced (audio / dvd rips). Both Qnap and Synology seem to support S3...

    General NAS Questions

    Hi, I'm looking to purchase either a QNAP TS-410 or a Synology DS410 and had a couple of questions regarding NAS in general. Am I able configure RAID at a share level (forgive my RAID ignorance). The reason I ask is because I very little of my data will need to be recoverable in the event...
