[Nottingham] HP are doing their £100 cashback offer again

[Dan Caseley]

Thanks for the link! With the four drives filled, I imagine this would
consume around the 44W quoted for the Synology DS412+.

I've been keen to get a 4-bay NAS for a while, but wanted to keep the ssh,
wol, sftp, wget, torrent, CrashPlan and other services that I've been used
to with my Mint 12 desktop. The Synology offers most, if not all of this.

I hear good things about the likes of FreeNAS, but does anyone have any
first hand experience of the features and stability?
