I have narrowed down my choices for a home server to a 4-bay Qnap TS409 Pro or a Netgear ReadyNas NV+.
The home server would be used to store important personal multimedia data such as photos, songs, movies etc. and may be expanded to media streaming if I purchase a PS3 in future.
Here in Singapore, the 2 NAS are similar in price - approx. US$600.
Netgear offers a 5 year warranty whereas the Qnap has only 1 year.
From your review, both NAS are quite compatible in performance with the Qnap being newer & having slightly more up to date features.
As you can see, it is a tight race between the two.
I appreciate if anyone can offer me some advice to help me with my decision.
Thanks in advance.
