Looking for a NAS upto ~£200

[Energize]

My Dad wants a NAS for archiving all his movies and photos etc wirelessly through his laptop.

I've been having a look around and these are the best I can find that come with 2x hard drives in that budget.

Buffalo LinkStation 520 2TB - £126.00
Buffalo LinkStation 520 4TB - £160.00
Buffalo LinkStation LS220 6TB - £193.98
Buffalo LinkStation 520 6TB - £229.89
Buffalo LinkStation 520 8TB - £253.98

And these are the single hard drive one's I found.

WD My Cloud 2TB - £94.99
Buffalo LinkStation 210 2TB - £98.32
Buffalo LinkStation 410D 2TB - £129.63
Buffalo LinkStation 210 3TB - £104.01
Lenovo EZ Media 3TB - £114.99
WD My Cloud 3TB - £119.98
Seagate Personal Cloud 3TB - £124.04
Seagate Personal Cloud 4TB - £129.99
Buffalo LinkStation 210 4TB - £136.26
WD My Cloud 4TB - £139.99
Seagate Personal Cloud 5TB - £159.99
WD My Cloud 6TB - £203.95

Is there anything better available on the market for the price, perhaps buying an enclosure and the drives separately?

Based on the prices the larger capacity raided hard drives seem better value for money, unless the Buffalo NAS are crap?

Don't buy Buffalo.

WD My Cloud gets my vote.

or

Synology DiskStation DS215j £131.36
WD Red 2TB £68.99

Add another Red 2TB at a later date for RAID1.

Get a HP microserver and roll your own?

 

[bledd]

Get Synology or QNAP, don't waste your time with the cheaper ones.

Thanks for the suggestions, in the end I went for the Synology DiskStation DS115j with the 2TB Red drive. I decided I didn't really need the higher availability of RAID.

Nice, they are good bits of kit!
