i got one of these when there was £100 cashback, meaning the total cost was about £130. I paid another £40 for 4gb of ECC ram so I could use it like a real server.

It's an excellent case design - there's a huge fan at the back pulling air over the 4 drive bays and my TB drives never go over about 25C. It's in a cupboard and unless I open the door it's totally silent.

From what I've seen of other NAS-style devices, it's pretty much unbeatable for value since it does all the same stuff but is ultimately a real, if basic, server.
