Keep looking for alternatives if you want more advanced NAS features. | Although expensive and difficult to use for networking novices, the Synology DS209+ offers awesome throughput speed and nearly all the features you could ever need in a NAS server. | Synology DiskStation DS412+ makes an excellent NAS server for advanced home and small-office networks. | The Western Digital MyBook Live is a fast, plug-and-play, simple-to-use home NAS server that unfortunately lacks features and has a subpar remote-access solution. |
