Small domestic NAS suggestions
Discussion
Anybody got any suggestions/recommendations/avoids? I'm after a small domestic NAS box. The miniITX PC that I've been using for years has recently died a death, probably not before time...
Couple of drive bays would be perfectly adequate. What'd be really nice is if it can act as a USB print server, too... Absolute silence is not required.
I think I'm currently leaning towards Synology DS216j, but what thoughts do you have?

I'm after something similar, however I'd like an HDMI output as well so it can sit next to the TV in the living room. I suspect my real issue is going to be I'd like it to be as quiet as possible. I've had a QNAP and wouldn't want that sitting next to the TV in the living room.
To be fair, I think that's down to the disks you put in it. Too Late said:
I know you bought a Synology device.
Another option to those out there is
Get yourself a MicrosServer Gen8 £100

Buy 1 or 6 disks
Install Xpenology (http://xpenology.com/forum)
Have yourself a very powerful NAS using Synology's OS

But the smallprint says that it has to be invoiced and delivered by today for the cashback.
