The DS212j was the first one I was looking at and intending to get but figured the other models might be a bit more future proof.
Cheers for the info on the network speed, 20mb/s should be enough for my needs. Waiting for a new fibre install and tempted to upgrade to the 80/20 option which could give me around 9mb/s tops. Streaming DTS bluray across the network should only be up to 1.5mb/s if I remember correctly.
How quiet is the DS212j and does it run the latest DSM?
That Xpenology looks nice. I was using a pc originally as a media server but wanted something smaller, lower power consumption and quieter so I could retire the old noisy pc. What would you use the VM's on the NAS for?
The HP N40 NAS is on sale on amazon at the moment, only £199.00!
Thanks again for any info

Just remembered the DS212j is usb 2. Not sure how much I would use it tbh but that nagging voice keeps saying a new one should have usb 3.
Just terrible at making decisions :P
