Thanks for posting that mk01 - sounds like an impressive set up you have there Smile

As for me, I am expecting a delivery on Monday with 2 x 3TB WD Red drives and a NSA325 (1.6Ghz CPU and 512Mb ram) and gigabit net. It'll be much better than the current usb2.0 HDD connected to the pi! Wink

- I only need media storage, backups are done on usb.

Main reason for this choice was power useage. At just 7W idle and 27W full out it will save me between £1000 and £3000 over the next 10 years on electricity compared to running a basic PC drawing 120W. That can pay for quite a lot!

This will be my first dedicated nas (currently running with shared internal and external drives) and will be something to learn with and help make future decisions based on this experience.

At under £300 for the lot it's not totally OTT. If in the future I change my mind I can still sell this. Time will tell!

Thanks again, I appreciate your input.
