Hardware Icy Box IB-NAS3221 NAS Review

The IB-NAS3221 is one of the cheapest NAS boxes we've seen, but can it compete with similar models from QNAP and Synology?

Hey guys, great to see NAS reviews on BT, these products are becoming more and more viable now,

One thing I would like to see is more information on the installed software that comes with these devices, particularly the media server application for streaming music, video and photos to uPnP media renderers. Early Linux based devices from Netgear and QNAP tended to ship with TwonkyMedia installed, which did a reasonable job. More recent WHS based devices often come with Asset UPnP, which is a great dedicated music server app. Many devices allow you to install your own, and further investigation from BT when reviewing the products would be very welcome.

Many thanks, and wishing you all a H.N.Y. in advance.

 

What's the power draw at the plug for these types of devices?

 

Proof reading seems to be going down hill...

 

Fixed.
