      Interesting article because they mention the price is $25! so really $5 discount, not 85%

      • +1

        They mention the price is $25 if purchased with a hard drive, on it's own it was $83.60.

      Betting it doesnt mention the massive 30 day warranty ShoppingSquare have put on these :S
      probably not even legal

  • Wish this could support XBMC. But at $20 I would be asking a bit much.

  • i'm kinda looking for a cheap NAS.. but would've preferred not a single drive bay.. any recommendations for a multi drive bay cheapy?

    • +1

      Depends whether you need bays?

      I built my own NAS/VPN Gateway/Plex/SMB/BT Ubuntu Server for ~$100 out of a thin client and a stack of USB3 HDD's

      Less than 15W power draw for the machine which is fanless and dead silent.

      Something to think about

  • I've had one of these for over a year now with 3TB drive inside. Nice and easy to operate and works well for hosting my XBMC files. BitTorrent client is pretty good too (after updating to the latest firmware!). The fan on it used to be really loud and continuous, but that too has improved after the update.

  • I installed one of these and it's been running for the past 6 months with no problems. It's not a media centre, it's just a NAS for those who read the title as "media centre".

    • I'm really surprised that noone has made a Media Centre NAS..
      ie a 2 bay SATA box with HDMI out running all of the above services plus xbmc.

      With the power and functionality of ARM SoC's these days (or even Bay Trail Atoms) it surely can't be difficult or expensive and the prospect of a device that can pull multiple duties is far more palateable to me than a single purpose device. Especially if it's going to be always on!
      I'm not even aware of a Raspberry Pi style Project Board that you could hack to make such a device! few seem to have SATA at all, and none (I've seen) that do have any more than 1 SATA header.

      • Something like this, but done better?

        • Like that but it needs to be less than $200, ideally less than $150.
          It's essentially just an Android TV stick with SATA headers and a Custom OS.

    Everyone Ozbargainer should have 2 HP Microserver's by now.. this would be one for the parents or friends ;)
