looking to get an external backup and Network attached storage.

at the moment, i'm erring towards...

The Synology box will allow me to serve files to my other deaktop and laptops via the wireless network, and also a print server so i can keep my prniter in a single location.

The Samsung SpinPoint is 500Gb, so would fulfill my size needs, given i have around 160Gb installed already.

whats peoples thoughts? the synology box is £153 and the HDD is on this week only special at £90.

that makes the package £243 before postage and i dont think i get a similarly sized NAS. i was thinking of the icybox stuff but they only act as a caddy, rather then basically a small linux PC.

does anyone have any experiance with the synology? could you tell me if its ok as a product?
