Kopkiwi: Just picked up a HTPC with XBMC pre loaded. Looking at putting my blu-ray collection onto storage, can anyone recommend an appropriate (read good but cheap) NAS?

rp1790: if you're only think 4-9TB, I'd suggest considering skipping a NAS and just purchasing a couple of external 4TB drives. or, even more cost effective 3 x 3TB drives (only about $229 ea).
Unless you ABSOLUTELY must have fault tolerance, external drives plugged directly into your HTPC are cheapest, by a mile, and make the least amount of noise.
I have a 4 bay ReadyNAS and while it's rather good, I wouldn't do it again.
billgates: Synology DS212j or above models. Have one running 24/7 for past 7 odd months with 2 x 2TB Green drives from Western Digital without any issues.
