Need buying advice

[koolman007]

I am looking to buy NAS for mainly streaming high bit rate directly to my dlna enabled tele. Atm I can stream movie fine through my external USB drive connected to my tele but I need to get rid of the hassle of copying files over and over again.
I am thinking of either getting a an Asustor 202te (cheapest Intel atom nas I can find for £193 or a Zyxel 325 v2 for £94. Is it worth spending extra for the Asustor ? On Smallnetbuilder benchmarks they perform pretty much similar. For start I will be getting just one 4tb WD red drive and add another soon after for raid 1 setup. Please advice and feel free to recommend ur own nas suggestions.

If you want a cheap NAS, this one gets a pretty good review:

I personal use a two-disk Synology DS213, which costs almost twice as much, but offers a plethora of further features over the cheaper NAS. DSM 5 (the management software that Synology use) is extremely comprehensive, feature-wise.

If you feel for it, you can try XPEnology (currently I am in the process to build one with a undervoltaged and under clocked Celeron G1620 in a ITX board,beats anything from performance point of view plus the value is outstanding, shame I can't measure the consumption), otherwise I would suggest Synology as well (the extra is worth it, once your tried I think).
