i upgraded to a 4 bay unit from QNAP.

all in all, the feature for them are just about the same, but i think i like synology better. much cleaner web GUI. new firmware updates constantly.]]>Jul 6th 2009 5:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/synology-debuts-compact-ds409slim-four-bay-nas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/synology-debuts-compact-ds409slim-four-bay-nas/Jul 6th 2009 5:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/synology-debuts-compact-ds409slim-four-bay-nas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/synology-debuts-compact-ds409slim-four-bay-nas/Jul 6th 2009 8:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/synology-debuts-compact-ds409slim-four-bay-nas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/synology-debuts-compact-ds409slim-four-bay-nas/Jul 6th 2009 5:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/synology-debuts-compact-ds409slim-four-bay-nas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/synology-debuts-compact-ds409slim-four-bay-nas/Jul 6th 2009 10:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/synology-debuts-compact-ds409slim-four-bay-nas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/synology-debuts-compact-ds409slim-four-bay-nas/Jul 6th 2009 5:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/synology-debuts-compact-ds409slim-four-bay-nas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/synology-debuts-compact-ds409slim-four-bay-nas/Jul 6th 2009 5:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/synology-debuts-compact-ds409slim-four-bay-nas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/synology-debuts-compact-ds409slim-four-bay-nas/Jul 6th 2009 6:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/synology-debuts-compact-ds409slim-four-bay-nas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/synology-debuts-compact-ds409slim-four-bay-nas/Jul 6th 2009 6:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/synology-debuts-compact-ds409slim-four-bay-nas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/synology-debuts-compact-ds409slim-four-bay-nas/Jul 6th 2009 9:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/synology-debuts-compact-ds409slim-four-bay-nas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/synology-debuts-compact-ds409slim-four-bay-nas/
except an iphone or pre, because it's nice when at least 5% of the comments are reasonable discussions

...and WHS, no thanks. Lacked the controls (esp. w/ RAID), flexibility, and features I wanted that the others OS were capable of. (Heck it even said I had roughly 80gigs less between 5 drives (four 1TB and one 160GB), because it needed one for the OS, than what FreeNAS said I had between 4 drives and a 32MB, yes MB!, flash drive!) And that is why I started looking at NAS enclousers. Small footprint/power consumption. Most are linux based and are relatively end-user-easy to set up. And they come with all the bells and whistles I'm looking for. Such as directory permissions, custom back ups, UPnP, bittorrent hosting & d/l, and so on. ]]>Jul 7th 2009 12:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/synology-debuts-compact-ds409slim-four-bay-nas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/synology-debuts-compact-ds409slim-four-bay-nas/Jul 6th 2009 7:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/synology-debuts-compact-ds409slim-four-bay-nas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/synology-debuts-compact-ds409slim-four-bay-nas/Jul 6th 2009 8:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/synology-debuts-compact-ds409slim-four-bay-nas/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/06/synology-debuts-compact-ds409slim-four-bay-nas/
