Yeah, but the question there is whether they can compete with the other ones.

I doubt the synology you linked has drives included. Besides, that is a 2 bay model and I was thinking of 4+ bays models. I have a bunch of 2 bay NAS units myself but none of them costed more than 100 bucks each. They were old crappy EOLed units when bought, but you get the idea.

I can't talk about the Synology. Word in the street is that Synology is the Apple of the NAS world.

I have an old Bufflo LinkStation which is supposedly a superior unit to the LS220 you linked. It is fine for a budget unit but you are going to bring it to its knees if you try to apply heavy load on it. I use it for storing backups.
