I've been looking at some Local NAS set ups for the house. How good/reliable are these? What types/brands of HDD do you IT folks prefer/recommend?
I was actually just deciding I need to start looking at this stuff for the office. Our 750 GB drives cost over $500 back in the day - I can practically quadruple storage for 1/4 of that price now. But we'll need a new NAS unit, too.

I like the Qnap products - 4-bay unit in the x31P or x51 series look decent. Right now we're running a Netgear 4 bay unit (solid for over 5 years). Need to do more research on HDs. WD is always decent but gotta make sure you get the right line for your application.
