My fave NAS so far based on 1 years use... 5x Samsung Spinpoint F1 1TB
Thecus N5500 BR PRO- excellent throughput 4 HD video streams without a glitch, Twonky runs a treat. NFS shares painful to setup but fast and as is FTP.
Averages 40-50 MBs write speed.
Good read speed approx 60-80MB per second
Clunky UI for software - setup and little messy and a few bugs that do eventually gets fixed through frimware updates.
Looks great in living room although, can be a little loud with fan.
Extra Modules like emule are not the easiest to run always but very doable even with limited knowlwdge.
CONS - Raid build takes forever 12 hours. And this unit has fallen over a few times in the year - perhaps 3 times - and I have had to rebuild the entire array! This could however be due to my personal setup and tweaking.
