Nice any idea on price yet?

o0o, been looking at these from the US, was wondering when they'd appear over here

antc · 25 Nov 2007 at 13:46

These look really good and definatley something i will be buying. Would be nice to get a rough idea of price!

Last week I was looking into them and spotted one place here in the UK which had a price of around £135.

Not sure what to make of that.

I've seen them for £97.... was hoping OCUK would beat that.

As OC didn't have them I've ordered from elsewhere with two WD RE2 500GB drives should have it soon. Got it to go with my TVix mainly for media streaming seemed a very good spec for the price.

There's a wiki been started http://www.nas-4220.org/index.php/Main_Page for a bit more info

It's pretty much the same hardware as the Taurus Lan

Only 2 hard drives though? Do they have any other in the pipeline with 4 or more drives?

WarBird · 25 Nov 2007 at 23:14

sorry how do those NAS work? do you plug the ethernet connection into the router and then like everyone can access it through that or what?
was thinking about getting something like this (i'm on wireless btw)

PhillyDee · 26 Nov 2007 at 00:10

Basically, yes. You just map the drive to whatever its been setup as. Its low powered, and cheap.

HEADRAT · 26 Nov 2007 at 10:36

Looks very nice

FreeStream · 29 Nov 2007 at 12:25

Oooh, tempted by this!!

If its < £100 then

afraser2k · 30 Nov 2007 at 09:24

Looks like the one that'll fit my needs, though I doubt we'll see it for less than £150 if the other NAS box prices are anything to go by.

Wonder if it will do standard Static IP's.. The Netgear one doesnt...

Just configure your DHCP server to give it the same address all the time.

zetec452 · 30 Nov 2007 at 21:40

I like the look of this. I already have a usb/sata IcyBox which has been pretty impressive.

gumbald · 30 Nov 2007 at 23:36

Give us a good price Slackworth! Was about to buy a simple IDE NAS, got the option to get one cheap, but may delay and get one of these instead. Synology ones seem just too expensive, this might be more in reach

Slackworth · 1 Dec 2007 at 00:14

Will have these on the site tomorrow/Monday.

afraser2k · 1 Dec 2007 at 01:05

Nice, should be interesting to see the price of these.
