The websharing options, the revision system and the easy backup make this thing gold to the inexperienced user.

And how about gaining root on it and making it do your evil bidding for the nix gurus out there?

But can it play doom?

QNAP NAS is much better. I have one TS-209 Pro, and now am waiting for the coming TS-409 Pro. (all the RAID functions, BT download, FTP server, DLNA streaming to PS3, PHP/MySQL, bra bra bra)

It worked fine as he copied his entire mp3 collection to it, and then it crashed less than 24 hours later, leaving nothing but a blinking red light which according to the manual means a bios failure. So I returned it and got him something else.

WHAT IS ITUNES SERVER FUNCTIONALITY? I don't know. Does this mean I put mp3/mp4/m4v/etc files on the drive and it shows up as a shared music library in my house?

I've seen too many cases where a linux software RAID 5 volume dies due to a single drive failure and then a second drive fails before the volume can be rebuilt, especially with the rapidly growing capacity of hard drives. To that end, I got a Thecus N5200, which holds 5 drives and supports RAID 6. The Thecus also supports the installation of custom modules and there's an active hacking community that offers all sorts of add-ons like rsync, ftp server, ssh/scp server, etc.

I tried to google it to get some more info on this. Just invested in a Linksys NAS200 and was wondering if I should just take it back..but oh well.
By the way... Any Specs???

I'd rather have a box that can stream 1080p from my pc..less things to break/crash..even if its running linux
