    A one bay drive with a 3 or 4 tb drive will do such as this.
    http://www.scan.co.uk/products/synology-ds112j-budget-friendly-1-bay-nas-server-for-home-users

    Edit: here is a link to Amazon who actually have it in stock with free delivery http://www.amazon.co.uk/Synology-DS...DIO6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1345656469&sr=8-2


    Or a 2 drive bay such as this http://www.scan.co.uk/products/syno...2ghz-cpu-256mb-2x-usb-20-port-and-gigabit-lan

    If you can afford the extra £40 get the 2 bay gives more space for future and you don't have to fill with 2 drives from the start could leave empty and fill later.

    Sorry to hijack someone else's thread, but you folks on here recommend Synology over Qnap ?
