NAS never interested me before and then I had a play with one of these and I really want one now. :)

You can also control them with an APP on your mobile device too from anywhere. :)
 
Do these support full support for all encoding formats? I would guess so but would like 100% clarification.

May ditch my HTPC for one of these, if so.
 
They allow for 4TB drives yes, we just recommenced the 3TB red as its the best value for money :)
Yes, they also have an app store to download apps just like synology.

Illcheck the file formats for you Ace, I shall be getting one of these for sure now as itll mean no need for a HTPC and any other expense involved.

Worst case you download in one format and convert for the xbmc but I have been led to believe that what ever xbmc supports these do too :)

As for the advantage over a dedicated server, I guess that depends on the requirements and the speed needed. If the spec can cope with what you need it for then a server will become void of use if you have these also :)

Some of them support security cameras but no mention of the type of connection or cameras?

This is something that we will add to the descriptions once we have more details. For the time being the only info available is on asustor web page and thats not exactly helpful in some cases at present.
 
What sort of advantage do the larger more expensive NAS offer over a dedicated file server computer set up in a rack server case?

  • Ease of use
  • Cheaper than Fileserver
  • 'Desktop' rather than rackmount/server space
  • No/very little software licencing costs
  • Cheaper to replace
  • Cheaper to run (power use)

But bear in mind, a Fileserver will be much more powerful, can host databases, network integration, increased security, better upgrade options, backups/synchronising data etc!
 
Anyone know how well they can run Sabnzbd, if they even can?

Most of the time, NAS boxes can't run past 3MB/s due to the CPU not being beefy enough.
 
Nice but way over priced the same as the synology Nas.

Oh Gibbo who:D:D who did :D:D:D who did them avatars :D:D:D:D:D

The 2 series are cheaper and offer more...

The 3 series offer more than the equivelent spec QNAP and Synology too. I dont see how they are way over priced or even over priced? Like for like they are cheaper.
 
They are, it seems mental.

I agreed until I played with a proper big boys NAS in work. It was a Synology 10 drive rack unit using 10Gb LAn and the thing is amazing! Can manage sustained 700 megabytes/s, but it was the OS and way it worked that impressed me most.

What would make sense for home use (the OS and general setup is the same between the domestic and SME):

As it uses a linux based OS for the RAID rather than RAID driven by a RAID card, it can actually spin down all the drives when not in use, so they are pretty power frugal. The apps and things included/ downloadable pretty much cover 99% of things you're likely to do with a home server, and its a set it and forget it (torrent/ media server/ ftp server/ mail server/ DHCP server etc). All without the need to be a Linux guru to get it all working. My home server is linux based and some of the things I run took me ages to work out......

I have considered buying one for home but I already have a home server I've built up over years with a 3Ware raid card and 12 1Tb SATA drives. Can't really justify throwing that all away and starting again.

E-I
