Synology DS209+ NAS server
Very fast throughput ; loads of features ; robust and intuitive Web interface ; RAID 1 and RAID 0 support ; great expandability ; Download Station supports eMule, BitTorrent and Web sites that require authentication

Disk Station DS209+
The Synology Disk Station DS209+ has lots of benefits: Compact, two-bay design; user-accessible drives; speedy performance; and RAID 0, 1, and JBOD configurations (it supports up to 3TB of storage; PC World tested the 1TB RAID version in a mirrored ...
Speedy performance Remote sharing, tons of features
Can be somewhat difficult to configure Drives not user-accessible
This model screamed through our performance tests: It required just 216 seconds to copy our 3GB folder of files

Solid NAS plus bells and whistles
My second NAS - the first was a SimpleShare from simpletech that I bought over 5 years ago and was another solid 24/7 embedded linux performer albeit a lot slower and limited to 250GB.
Solid build, power efficient, quiet, very responsive online support, seems pretty bulletproof. Fast, though I don't have a lot to compare to. email notification of drive or unit issues
A little more expensive than others, but I think it was worth it. If a drive fails the unit beeps every few seconds, and there is no way to turn it off without accessing the unit via a browser. This should be configurable via the OS, so if the unit is in...
Excellent product
Highly recommend the product!!!
Awesome little machine with abundance of features. Once the initial install is done (took me about 5 hours for the 2x1TB drives set in a RAID1) running this thing is a breeze. And the WEB interface this thing provides deserves its own design/usability awa...

Excellent NAS unit

For the money, this is an extremely feature-rich unit. It supports not only networked file sharing, but also a web server, an ftp server, a mail server, a photo center, and a music server... and more! The documentation is fairly complete and there is a st...
Doesn't come with drives, which means you pay a little more and have to assemble it yourself. (It assembles quite easily, so this isn't a problem unless you aren't comfortable working with computer internals.) The web interface is good, but does not offer...
