Re: Buying a NAS am I doing the right thing?

["noel_pilot" <HA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Looks very good...only slight bug**r is the =A3450 without any discs
:(

in true HA fashion here's me hoping for something under a ton that i
could just slot my discs in!!

im not quite so desperate that i'd buy multiple nas enclosures from
unnamed sources from ebay for 30 quid each! i wouldnt hope for much
from the quality!

sure the synology is worth it but the pennies will have to be saved up!

any other options?!

Thanks
Noel
