been looking for a 4 bay NAS and found this price on the warehouse1 website. Seems pretty decent. Next lowest I have found is shopping square for 529 + shipping. Microserver seems to be a cheaper option, however I think they are more fiddly to work with?
Synology DS416 $491.95 + Delivery @ Warehouse1

The VPN server is handy to remote into your home network (especially if you don't want to open up your network for general file sharing, etc to the outside world).

Go for a natural one, it will give you more pleasure in the long run.
The Synology & QNAP boxes are just rock solid (It helps being linix based).
Theres a fair few apps (nothing compared to Windows or straight linux servers of course).
