Don't forget that NAS's are essentially PC's with a custom OS

And just as with PC's, Slow Processors and Small RAM is the Bane of Performance, whether in single user or multi-user environments

IMHO, the Synology 4 bay 411j is very hard to beat in the current market for its combination of Performance and very useful features........many of which you only find handy once you start to use the Device
