Bryan,
I do read reviews on Newegg. I read reviews on Amazon. But, I rarely let
these reviews be my #1 focus on any given purchase. I do review stuff
elsewhere also; and, share my proclivities here on the List. The List is
much more brutal I find!
Yes, Netgear is very proud of their toys! I agree.
I've been watching the TS-209 for the past 2 yrs (since JRS mentioned it
to me!). Still have not pulled the trigger. I am still shopping a 2d DUO
(just for backup duties!).
YMMV.
Best,
Duncan

Thecus looks nice however it has a lot of bad reviews on Newegg :(
TS-509 has better reviews but is out of stock O_o.

Ya, but you're asking for a standalone unit... check out the Thecus N7700
NAS and QNAP TS-509 Pro NAS whle you're at it.

Anyone know of something decent that has 5 bays ? I was looking for a
nice pre-built NAS but all of the higher capacity ones got
horrible reviews :( I have a server case with 8x1.5TB using ZFS RAIDZ
currently and it's great, but something self-enclosed/non-server i
requiring would be nice.

Duncan,
No, not yet. I'm looking for a deal on the Netgear. Thanks for your
comments to back up John's.

Thanks for the comments on the Netgear. Those features mean a lot
to
me...quiet is indeed important. Are these all capable of 1000Mbps?
Currently my printer is wireless but I might be willing to use the
server in a NAS.

I had a DNS-323 and it was fine. The only issue I had was the fan
was
small and therefore noisy.
I lost a drive in it once, and when WD sent the replacement, the
NAS
rebuilt itself just fine with no problems..
I currently have a pair of Netgear NAS Duo's with 1 terabyte
drives.
Faster than the DNS-323, quieter, and came with 3 year warranties,
which ain't bad.
They are hot swap by the way, with pull out drive trays very easy
to
get to.
I stream audio off one and movies off the other. They both work
great
for that..

The diskless one retails for 250, but can be had for less. I think
I
gave Newegg 199 for my last one? Add a couple terabyte drives and
off
you go.
They have a new Ultra series coming out too that I have not really
checked on yet, since mine do all I need them to do..
These things do act as print servers too if you need that, just
plug
in a USB printer and you are good to go..

Probably will start with 2TB. Don't think I need more than 4 to 6
down the road, but likely not even that much. I don't have kids so
streaming video from an HD just doens't seem important to me.
Besides, I have so many Blu-rays now that I could never back them
up.
Anyway, is there something good for under $200? I know the DLink
DNS-323 is going for $150 on Amazon at the moment, but there a
better
choice? I'd like something with esata and USB3.0 too, if possible.
