hey mate, i was …
hey mate, i was wondering if you have any idea of a nas box with torrent capability?
i want exactly what you just reviewed, but with the ability to have torrents downloading and seeding on it because i cannot leave my macbook on 24/7
another good thing would be download scheduling?
im not sure if you know any but thought id ask, thanks

yeah, but the …
yeah, but the readynas pro does not fit my criticism …. it has 6 bays, no? 6 slots makes sense … and also something that will not put all the drives into one RAID device.
one question i have if you can answer. have you ever had a RAID/NAS filled with one size drive and then replace it will larger drives one at a time? if you do this when you insert the last drive will the size factor increase on all drives or are you grandfathered at the lower disk size?

themountainviewguy,
I understand your point of view, but in my experience the expandability has been fantastically useful. I just expanded our NV Pro from 3 x 500GB drives to 6 x 1.5TB drives. The array was nearly full and it managed to be upgraded over the span of 4 hours. (Pop in a drive, walk away, come back later, etc.)
We’ve got a NVX review due in a day or two. It’s the next version of the NV+… take a look and see if you like.

Peace,

My “experienced” …
My “experienced” now opinion, since i have 2 of these is that they are not that great. The scaling and usefulness comes form the number of slots. since there are only 4 you can get the size of 3 drives redundant. The problem is that drive sizes are still getting larger. from the 750GB to the 1.5 TB drives, it means that really you do not get that much of an advantage in terms of flexibility. It costs about 400+ to upgrade the whole system. The idea of upgrading over time is a lie really.

Oops, I meant “Popcorn Hour,” not “Popcorn Time.” I’ve narrowed my search to that and the EVA8000, but Popcorn Hour seems to have the edge.

Thanks for the review! Any advice on setting the NV+ up as a media server to stream audio and video using Popcorn Time, XBOX 360, PS3, etc.? If so, which media server would you recommend? Are dedicated media servers better for this purpose than game boxes? Thanks!

We don’t but any of this gear. Nor do we get to keep it. It is loaned to us by the manufacturer and returned after the review.

I thought Jesuits were supposed to live in poverty.
I’m guessing all that computer equipment didn’t come cheaply.

TheKappaVFS,
That’s only because it’s brand-spankin-new — The Business edition (The one with 3 x 500GB hard drives and 3 empty bays) should sell for ~$1700.
Though I’ve seen the NV+ on CL for as low as $1200 with 4 1TB drives.

Well if you are going to spend $1500, don’t get this version, get the Pro. You can find the review in our more current episode list.

Goddamn, this box …
, this box gives me a geekchubby. It’s everything I’ve ever wanted in a computer gadget and more! Seriously, I have a checklist of things I’d like to add to my network and this has all of them. Now, it’s just a matter of coming up with the $1500 to get one…

Oh… and after …
Oh… and after checking out your channel I can add one more reason… I add “JESUITS” to the front of all my episodes in order to push down the videos from hate-mongering, conspiracy-theorist, tinfoil-hate-wearing nutjobs who OWNED the “Jesuit” seach on YouTube before I started my work.
