I considered creating my own NAS or purchasing one like this for a very long time. Purchased DS218 and have never looked back; everything works and there is no tambourine dancing. Save a ton of time by setting it up once and forgetting it. I utilize drive-video-audio-photo-station, dlna, as well as disk synchronization, access via smb, and nfs. The realtek processor and 2GB of RAM are more than enough for the average home; the only time it experiences strain is when simultaneously indexing lots of photographs and viewing a movie.
