@rep:
$172 - WD 3TB Green WD30EZRX. can you confirm if this drive will park its head every 2mins or every 8secs? (hint: intellipark term)
- Store RepShoppingExpress @ Shopping Express on 26/06/2012 - 15:11
  
  Hi Mate,
  
  I cannot confirm this, but i will lean towards 8 secs
- tor on 26/06/2012 - 19:20
  
  You need to use a WD utility, WDIDLE3, to change the park timeout. I had to do this to a WD green 3TB drive I bought just a month ago.

    You are correct rep, had a look at many computer stores that had specials on the microserver and static ice and the HP Microserver at $265 is the best price anywhere. The price is about $335 everywhere else and there are many stores that do not have stock.
    
    When the deal was first read, it didnt look like a bargain, but it is looking like a bargain now.

None of these beats the Aldi MEDION 1.5 TB NAS which I bought 2 months before for 129$ ,, If you are not in a hurry consider waiting for that simple NAS to come back on offer.
- Mikinoz on 26/06/2012 - 15:52
  
  Actually if its the budget then connecting a 99 2tb hard drive to a router with usb would do the same.
  
  Why does the aldi beat any of these?, they are aimed at completely different people.

  My friend , I meant if you are after a simple no hassles Nas, consider waiting for that because it was well worth the money and loads of features for its price.
  
  … then connecting a 99 2tb hard drive to a router with usb would do the same.
  
  Not really the Aldi one has heaps of features that a hard drive on a router won't. Bit torrent, power saver, DLNA and heaps more.
  
  they are aimed at completely different people.
  
  Agree , Aldi one is better only if someone was on a tight budget.
  
  lol comparing a 1 bay nas to 4 bay ones is COMPLETELY valid.
  
  Understand, and I wanted to suggest it as an option for ppl on a budet, not everyone wants to splurge 500 $ on a 4 Bay Nas + the drives.
heroheroz on 26/06/2012 - 16:01

Do not buy a qnap nas, it is real bad. I bought a TS410 before, and when you fill it up, the performance start to degrade from 20mb/s to 20kb/s and finally unusable, a workaround is to delete existing files to regain speed, but what is the point of buying a NAS that I can not utilize? I bought 4 x 2TB Hdd, run it in raid 5 give me 5.5TB, and when I put more than 4T files on the NAS it won't response.

I have checked the qnap forum, and there're heaps of users suffer from the same problem, and qnap only replied once without mentioning whether or not they will or when will they get it fixed, serveral months gone now and no progress.

I want to upgrade to 4 x 3T hdd but that would be too expensive solution. I dont want to put 2 NAS at home too, so I am screwed and totally regret buying Qnap for storage solution, they sucked so bad. So as a user, I would not recomment buying a qnap product (if you insist getting qnap, pls goto their forum have a look before you buying one, complaints on qnap forum regarding to their nas is compariable the complaints on diablo 3 forum).

      Completely different capabilities. There's a nasty Netgear Stora that turns up for $70, doesn't mean it's as good as a Microserver or Qnap.
    - ozdesi on 26/06/2012 - 19:14
      
      I agree different capabilities if you want to run WHS and customize it on the microserver. But if you just want simple to use NAS then 2 drive Buffalo has decent feature set for the price like gigabit ethernet, USB port for additional HDD, iOS app, DLNA support, RAID 0/1. Otherwise just wait for the price to drop (if it does at all) for the microserver.

Would anyone use the HP device as a NAS/media centre box open in their main lounge room. I'm up for buying either a new PS3 as a DLNA client to hook back to my PC OR one of these to become the media server AND play movies etc on the tele. I am just not sure about noise etc of it being in the main room.

Can anyone compare a PS3 and N40L for noise levels?
- turbodude on 27/06/2012 - 10:08
  
  I have both and the N40L is way louder than the PS3. The PS3 is very quiet. The N40L I would consider a bit too loud for the loungeroom but that's just my opinion. I have bought a silent PicoPSU to put in mine so I will see how much difference that makes when I install it. I bought the PicoPSU mainly to reduce power use as mine uses more power than I expected from my preliminary research before buying the N40L

I am connecting to the NBN soon and want a NAS for file sharing solutions. Anyone have any suggestions on compatibility with super fast interwebs?

I am a newb so anything will help.

Basically the plan is as follow. NBN connects to wireless modem router in study (unsure of which router atm). Cat6 cable connecting living room tv and theatre tv/ps3 to wireless modem router.

Not actually sure if I need a modem router for NBN.

:(
- BearLee on 28/06/2012 - 08:50
  
  Can I use my existing equipment/modem over the NBN?
  
  Modems and gateways
  If you are switching over to the NBN from an ADSL service, which is what most people have today, then your DSL modem may not work because you will need a different gateway with an Ethernet port on the internet side (often marked “WAN”). Your service provider may include an NBN-compatible home gateway as part of their service offer.
  
  In general, broadband gateways (modems, routers and access points) can be used if they have an Ethernet port for the internet side. Seek advice from your service provider if you aren’t sure.
  
  If you do want to buy your own home gateway, they can be purchased for as low as around $35. Recent advances in WiFi technology provide signals which should be adequate for many broadband services. Look for ‘wireless N’ when shopping for a new wireless gateway. ‘Wireless N’, or 802.11n, refers to a standard of high-speed WiFi that is capable of delivering the range and capacity needed for high bandwidth applications.

benholmes on 28/06/2012 - 10:26

Also ordered an N40L and a few other bits and pieces(and paid via PayPal) on the 26th and my order still says processing - I assume this is probably because the estimated dispatch time for the N40L was 3-5 days (probably because they're dropshipping them). Be nice if it did sneak in before the weekend, but I'd say it's unlikely

  Yup - good in noticing that. Stock arrived at our warehouse yesterday and we've manage to dispatch some. The rest will be today. We did not wish to delay our NAS Sale launch date due to the slight delay in timing of the HP servers arriving at our warehouse, therefore it was put as 3-5 working days on 26-6-12. You will probably notice the estimated dispatch time has changed to 1-2 working day as of today.
  - benholmes on 28/06/2012 - 11:04
    
    Cheers rep. Just a question, I also ordered a HDD enclosure that had a 3-5 day dispatch date will this mean I run this risk of losing my N40L ie is my N40L 'reserved' now that I've paid for it or when the enclosure comes in if you've run out of stock of the N40L's do I miss out?

      This is not supposed to happen. However, if you ever meet this issue due to our WRONG stock allocation in the scenario you mentioend (as once order already paid and the stock should be reserved for you), you should get some arrangement from our end to resolve it.

Ordered Thursday morning in a rush, was sent same day. IS in the truck with Auspost right now for delivery, AND answered all my frantic messages.

Can't ask for much more, great service guys.

Can't wait to finish work and pick it up! :D
