Maybe I'm blind from all those Cadbury choc bars, but does this work with OS X?
Stop eating the bars, they are indeed hurting your eyesight :P Switch to Nutella, its alot better.
Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP (SP3) operating system; Mac OS X Mountain Lion, Lion and Snow Leopard operating systems; DLNA/UPnP devices for streaming; Internet connection for remote access.
i have a NAS drive and works fine with OS X sure OP can confirm this specific model though. can't imagine it'd be any different.
REP: Can you do a deal with drives? 3TB seems to be the best price point at the mo but would like 4TB if the price is good..
Second this
Unfortunately not sorry, as this was the deal that was given. Depending on preference, there's the 3TB Toshiba starting at $123 (online) or the recommended WD RED 4TB at $229 (online). Thanks.

Ok thanks anyway
Is this fast enough to run Plex media server and stream video over home network to TV? My old QNAP TS210 just does not have enough CPU horsepower to run Plex at all :(
I looked into this myself awhile back, unfortunately not, take a look at Plex's NAS compatibility list https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/201373803-NAS-Comp…
Here is a forum post of other users who asked: https://forums.plex.tv/index.php/topic/87636-plex-media-serv…
You're best off buying a Brix or NUC to do the job and interface it with your old NAS. Alternatively, build your own server box (I went with this option) and you can throw in quite a few hard drives (low power consumption build like a Q1900 or Q2900 - which according to forum users on the Plex site, can transcode just fine).
Thanks for the info. Currently I have some video stored in my QNAP NAS, I just run Plex Media Server from my MacBook Pro to transcode and stream the video over my home WIFI network to my TV.
Shame no drives included…
According to the reviews I read, performance isn't the best. I'm in the market for NAS. So far, all the product specs and 'features' page I've read doesn't really tell why a NAS box is better than just buying a RAID enabled cheapie PC. Ok you probably won't get hot swappable drives with the latter but how often do you have to swap? If I build a PC I can run way more "apps". NAS probably wins it for convenience factor, smaller power consumption and enterprise related features if it comes with them.
Btw, good to see you here Umart. Hope you'll post more deals regularly.
I was considering the ReadyNas Units when they were on special some weeks back. Pity it didn't do RAID 10
Can you do any discounting on the readynas rn314? $399? with postage to sydney $415? :)
Will it support 8Tb Seagate drives?
I have the same question - four of them would make 32TB in a single unit.
Plus shipping ($15-$19 to Sydney)
