    In quick answer to the question of "is VM on a NAS something you'd use?" - Yes, My N40L Microserver runs 4 Light VMs for doing a variety of stuff - including learning about VMs!

    Re: Qnap TS-453 Pro

    Thanks for a good review. I've progressed from the original Terastation (ran out of room, plus the drives are not directly readable in a PC) to the Tranquil SQA-5H (nice but didn't have the oomph to transcode 4 HD streams) to a dedicated i5-3570T PC (OK but subject to usual PC problems, fans failing etc). So I'm really interested in this. Do you know, if I just drop my data drives into it, will it integrate them or insist on wiping them? I'll go and Google it and report back sometime if I find the answer.

    Although the specification says 8GB RAM max it actually supports 16GB! I haven't tried it myself but according to multiple users from QNAP user forum (I can't post the link because a don't have enough posts). This applies to TS-451 as well!

    I'd stay away...got sick of ringing QNAP support and having a tech do exactly what I had done already and then declaring the array toast "because there was an error on another drive it didn't notice"

    I was 1/6 on successful rebuilds after a failed disk with QNAP NASes.

    On synology units it was ~ 20/20
