About $30 cheaper than anywhere else. ~$10 delivery. Here's a basic review http://www.centrecom.com.au/game/buffalo-linkstation-pro-duo… and the Buffalo NAS product matrix http://www.buffalotech.com/products/network-storage.

How does this compare to the D-Link DNS-320L ~$120 (not to be confused with non "L" version)? http://www.scorptec.com.au/computer/47140-dns-320l.

Buffalo ————————————— D-Link DNS-320L
1.6 GHz Single Issue ARM ————- ?
256 MB DDR3 —————————- ?
0/1/Normal ———————————- raid 0, raid 1, JBOD, Standard
3 Year Warranty ————————— 1 Year Warranty

    personally, I'd got for a QNAP, but they cost more than twice that…

      Over $200 I'd be considering a MicroServer http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/79129.

        For over $200 I'd want a monkey butler.

        The only catch on the MicroServer is it cannot do Raid-5.

        • noz on 09/09/2012 - 09:17

          Yes it can .. unless you are saying that it cannot do hardware RAID-5, but that doesn't matter. In fact, I am running RAID-6 on my Microserver N36L, and I get transfer speeds of 80-90 Megabytes/sec. This blows most NAS's at the price range out of the water.

        • teaBagger on 09/09/2012 - 14:55

          But Monkey Butlers can only do RAID 0/1

        apples and oranges… it's not a NAS

        • achw on 09/09/2012 - 11:33

          how is this not a nas??

        • James101 on 09/09/2012 - 13:10

          I guess the benefit of the MicroServer is that it can also be a NAS (with the right software e.g. FreeNAS), just as any server can. But it's the form factor, disk caddies, and power savings that make it comparable to a dedicated NAS.

      I own both, recently uppgraded to the qnap. They both have pro's & cons, its a great price for a starter nas

        what are the cons?

  • kin916 on 09/09/2012 - 08:47

    Will Nootec N5 come with the same function? It is cheaper.

    "CRIES" - I paid $198 when I first got this.

    Great bit of kit

    • Moikey on 09/09/2012 - 17:46

      Out of interest, what kind of speeds do you get?

      • teaBagger on 10/09/2012 - 09:38

        Talk to it via 802.11n and too lazy to plug it in via ethernet

  • epicaricacy on 09/09/2012 - 13:49

    My Dlink 623 has been sitting dead for a month, so will give this ago. Cheers op

  • Iceman82 on 09/09/2012 - 21:14

    What hard drives are best for a NAS unit?
    If I get this, I want to know what to put in it!

  • sarakoth on 10/09/2012 - 17:29

    Thanks OP… I decided to grab one… though postage was $15 to Perth FYI.

  • FreaqyGeeq on 12/09/2012 - 22:26

    Price is back up to $118.
