this is an older, superseded NAS - no USB3, but still has gigabit ethernet, bittorrent server and android/ios apps.
a very good basic nas for $79 - next cheapest on staticice is $130.
review here: http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/nas/nas-reviews/31340-new-to-…
apparently it can take 2 x 3TB drives.
i found setup pretty easy, i do think though the torrent part takes too long to get up from a browser and i wish there was an app to control the torrents directly (like utorrent mobile app).
can this be configure to work with VPN or torrent proxy? how easy is to add a torrent files to the server for it to download?
Easy to add torrent files, either by copying and pasting the magnet link, or downloading the torrent file and pointing to it.
I think it can be used with a VPN or torrent proxy. This page has some info.

Been on the look out for cheap NAS. Pulled the trigger. Cheers.
Looks good, take the bullet. Now, in the market for HDD
Word of warning, I have this NAS and I'm not sure if I haven't configured it properly, but it is quite crap.
When I have the mediaserver enabled file transfers peak at whopping 5mb/s. Typically muchhhh lower. It's so bad that me and my roommate cannot both be streaming at the same time from the device. Even when I turn it off, I have seen it peak at 20mb/s over wifi and only like 40mb/s over ethernet. Typically though, with mediaserver disabled I will get an average of 7mb/s over wifi.
Also, the web interface is just slow and really frustrating
I'm open to suggestions on how to fix this, but I highly recommend avoiding this product.
Put the $70 towards a hard drive for a microserver
I haven't experienced anything like this.
I have mine hooked up to a gigabit network over the house with ethernet over power for 2 other pc's and have had 5 devices streaming HD content simultaneously.
What HDD are you using in there and what router are you using because those numbers seem quite low.
When I transfer files over using windows I am getting anywhere from 40mb/s to 100 mb/s depending on file size and if anyone else is using it.
I don't know I had a slightly different/newer model or maybe there is a firmware upgrade/fix but I had one with identical appearance that was dog slow and sold it over a year ago.
just purchased but wondering what disks are compatibile with this unit? can someone post model numbers etc
No access to google yourself hey? Or are you hiring a servant and this is the job interview?

Congrats, you got the job!
Anyone know if this item will support NFS file system? Not NTFS, but NFS (Network File System). It's a much more efficient file system than Samba.
Great unit. I use it for torrents, media streaming, time machine, file storage. I run it in Raid with 2 x 3 Tb hdd
Hasn't skipped a beat. Found setup very simple, and have no issues at all with torrent web admin as others have said here.
Product not found. Possibly sold out?
She goneeeeeeeee
Damn, I was hoping I could wait until the end of the week before this one was discovered!
It's a great unit, I have one and have ordered one for the parents as it's reliable and simple (once set up)
Set up IS a pain though so be prepared for some frustration.
