[QUOTE="pilehave, post: 402257, member: 71550"] I think the answer "What is best?" cannot be answered without another question: "What do you need?" If you need a plug-and-play solution with itunes/web/ftp/torrent/security cam/whatever (the full package) then you're probably best of with a "real" NAS (a cheap one, but a NAS nonetheless). If all you need is the occasional access to say, 8 TB of backup- or mediastorage in RAID, well then put the cheapest MB and CPU in the shopping-basket together with 2 GB of RAM and you're all set to go (with whatever disksize you want). This could be run on something fancy like Windows XP or Windows Server 2003. The performance will at least be at par with a NAS at twice the price. [/QUOTE]
