Turned out it was not only the cheapest, but also the worst 4-bay NAS device money could buy. The result was average performance, worsened by a nightmarish setup procedure and overall poor functionality that was plagued with issues. I made the terrible mistake of purchasing this product because of the attractive price point alone. For example, one of the cheapest 4-bay NAS devices available right now is the Promise NS4300N SmartStor at just $290. More affordable products are finding their way to the market all the time, however you should be wary with some of them. There are a number of legitimate reasons why NAS devices are becoming so popular in work environments, but because of the costly setup investment, they have remained more of a luxury than a necessity for home users. Then we had the 4-bay Synology Disk Station 409+, priced at $600 without hard drives, which might come as a more reasonable choice for the home or small office, while still delivering good performance and a compelling feature set. Obviously, this device is targeted at businesses that have that kind of extreme requirements.

The 8-bay QNAP TS-809 Pro Turbo, you might recall, offered the highest levels of performance, but carried an equally imposing starting price of $1,700, escalating up to around $3,000 when equipped with eight 2TB drives. Over the past few months we've shown you a couple of network-attached storage (NAS) devices selling at two rather distant price points.
