Buffalo rolls out with yet another NAS product, only this time they insist that it belongs in your home. TeraStation Living, available as a 1TB or 2TB model, supports DNLA and works with the Buffalo Video LinkTheater suite to sync up with all your media electronics and also stores TV shows, videos (DivX or WMV), photos, and music. TeraStation will be made available in March with projected prices of ¥106,300 (about $896) for the 1TB unit and ¥178,900 (about $1,510) for the 2TB unit. While we can all agree that TeraStation Living's functional configurations are great for "living," some of their commercially-targeted models would look a whole lot nicer in the home.[Via Akihabara News]
Network storage rocks.

Does a grand a terabyte not sound pretty expensive to anyone else?
Price is $799, it's also called the 'Live', and it was announced in January. This is old news. Based on their claims of 5x faster, and the performance of their similar new generation LinkStations, this should be quite a bit quicker than Infrant's product.
The D-Link DNS-323 gets my vote. Check out the performance comparisons.

Here's the review

When, oh when, will someone bring out a 4x SATA NAS box, that comes with no HDD's. That way I can afford it now, and add storage as I go, rather than having to dump almost a $K in one hit.
If you can live without a LCD screen, the Infrant ReadyNAS 4-Bay is available without HDD for $499. The X-RAID Technology can automatically expand the RAID array for you so you can start with one and then add more HDD later.

Seems to me like 2 TB should be around $900. Just wait a year, and you can get it for half that. Wait another year, and you can get current rates with flash memory.
Just keeps getting better :)
