Synology DS411J/4TB 4 Bay 4TB NAS Solution (4x 1TB HDD Installed)

Brilliant NAS
I've had my DS411j for a few days now and I absolutely love it. It's the third NAS I've owned and is much, much quieter than the previous two (a Buffalo Linkstation and a Thecus N1200). I installed three 2TB Samsung HD204UI drives in it and it took about 14 hours to build the RAID5 array, which gave me plenty of time to read the extensive help files in the device's very slick web interface.

The media server is also much better than those on my previous two NAS devices, including the Twonky server I installed on the Thecus. If you're planning to use this to serve media to a DMA (digital media adapter) it'll be perfect.

Transfer speeds aren't up there with the high-end expensive models that are targeted as businesses but that's why this thing is
