For this price, the Qnap Network Storage Server comes highly respected and is always a popular choice for most people. With so many on offer right now, it is great to have a name you can believe. The product is certainly that and will be a excellent purchase. The supplier have included some excellent touches and this means good value. You can believe this review, i hope you can try to buy this product if you want know this product. I've had this product for many months now with 4 x 2TB Samsung HD204UI(F4EGs) running in RAID 10. Like one of the other reviewers, I have a WD Live Streaming and this product works well with it as long as you use the most recent TwonkyMedia Server with it. My roommates are able to stream videos with ease and the device performs much better than I ever expected (from my PC over gigabit lan + ASUS RT-N56U makes for 60MB/s writes and roughly 90MB/s reads on RAID 10 which are the limitations of the drives and not the device itself).
When I initially for this machine, I set it up in RAID 5 but was seeing somewhere around ~40MB/s and realized that such large drives take a long time to rebuild (tested this but forgot to enable the bitmap - which greatly reduces rebuild times). I then deliberated and finally settled on RAID 10 thanks to it's performance advantage (in most situations) and it's lower rebuild times (since no parity is calculated, rebuilds take roughly 6 hours for nearly 2TB of data compared to 9+ for RAID 5).
The only reason I have given the device 4 stars is because just about every drive I can find is not on the compatibility list or was changed when only had 2 of the Samsung HDDs. This is primarily my fault for not doing more research about the drives I buy but, the newer Netgear NAS devices don't have the issues with a lot of the drives that this device does. Namely Western Digital WD30EZRX (3TB drives). These drives are on the 'unofficial' compatibility list but not on the official one so I thought I'd try them out. DO NOT buy them for this device. They have caused many issues with my attempts to expand my RAID volume and take a very long time for various reasons - I won't mention here but just know that these drives are not meant for RAID.
I have not tried Synology or any 4-bay Netgear so I cannot compare this to any comparable product, but other than the hard drive compatibility list, I thoroughly enjoy this device and recommend QNAP to my colleagues and friends.
