Qnap nas??

[Chocula]

Hi everyone,

I have been reading the forums a lot, and it seems that a lot of people recommend Synology. I was doing some research on NAS myself and I came across QNAP

qnap recently released their hd station (video for reference http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xu59r_MrVag&noredirect=1) and more info http://www.qnap.com/hdstation/us/

Is this a viable option to skip your media player? I think its really cool how you can have a file share/backup/ BT dl and more all in one with the QNAP. Anyone have experience on the product? It seems like QNAP has everything Synology has and more

any feedback is greatly appreciated

I've owned two Qnap NAS drives, a TS-409 Pro Turbo II and a TS-439, and I hated both of them: constant disconnects from the network, slow transfer rates...it wasn't fun.

I now have a Synology 419+ and I couldn't be happier. For someone like me who doesn't have much networking savvy (I just want something that works with my network), the Synology was everything I could ask for.
