Can I get some informed suggestions please?
We own a (very) small business and need a good platform to test Web development and store large files (graphic design projects).
Is there a NAS solution out there that:
1. Provides an intuitive interface
2. Facilitates daily use from several sources to develop Web sites via FTP
3. Allows synchronizing workstations - we utilize ViceVersa
4. Provides solid redundancy solution (RAID5 or 6)
Regarding #1 above, we looked at the QNAP, Netgear and Synology products, but could not find many screen shots of the user interface with the exception of Synology. From the few I could find of the QNAP and Netgear, the interfaces looked somewhat clunky.
We are not very familiar with TELNET/SSH but are comfortable with using FTP to transfer/work with files.
For some this may seem absurd or primitive but that's all we need right now.
