Many 2 bay NAS cost close to that figure, so it's still convenient, and more bays are never enough. The only two problems with the Helios, which I monitor since last year, is that it appears to be not 100% stable yet, although most problems reported in the forums seem related to excessive clock speed (which can be throttled down), and being always out of stock. It's a revolutionary product given the price and features (how many noticed it also has a small UPS on board?), therefore as soon as a new production batch is ready it goes away almost immediately.

I think the 4 Bay Size ( The 4S ) fits me better. I just prefer something taller wider than taking lots of ground space. I dont have the luxury to live in a large flat. Although the 4S is now discontinued?

I dont quite understand "excessive cloud speed". Assuming I am only using it for file transfer and nothing more would it still be a problem? Or is it something to do with Filesystem. I haven't checked out if the default support something like ZFS or BTRFS.

It's excessive clock speed, not cloud speed. Might be causing the CPU overheating so users throttled down its speed which seems to solve the problem.

It was obviously a typo.
