I am using a Buffalo Terastion. Work really great. Differenz Raid levels possible (I can use 750 GB of the 1 TB storage).

I recently purchased a D-Link DNS-323. Although I only have 1 500g HD, will will support up 1T with RAID options. Connected to the network via ethernet.

So far, it's pretty quiet and the Mac and PC can see and access the drive. Only problem was that when the power goes out, the unit re-assigns itself a new IP and them becomes invisible to the network.

 

SmallNetBuilder, they’re good! And they have nice performance charts as well…

I settled on the readynas duo.

While I think I can run over the 1000GB over the next 18 month I think I can manage by removing what I don't need. While I though long about the Readynas NV it makes more noise and is probably much more then I need. All I want is a shared place for my videos and itunes library.

 I will report back how music streaming to my ATV will work. I am planning on re-ripping my favourite CDs into Apple Lossless and house them on it.

I considered the NV which has 4 ports, the Pro is probably even more expensive. Thing is, the Duo might be a bit better for home use since it is designed around silent operation.

I might sell it down the line without drives and upgrade to the bigger brothers, I read that as well that you can just take the drives and transfer them.

I will post how i goes, I am hoping it comes by next weekend. 

Any ideas on how Beosound5 will blend in with an Apple / NAS solution?
Do you think that BS5 will be able to access an iTunes library?
Will there be a way of integrating BS5 into an Apple/iTunes world?
Or is this just overkill?
