Your are best off building a little server using a low powered $35 CPU like this..

http://www.microcenter.com/product/408967/Celeron_G1610_26GHz_LGA_1155_Boxed_Processor

It will transcode anything you need it to Plex Clients, and it can also serve up files over a windows share for any XBMC Clients.

Raspberry Pi is not really much of a NAS like it seems you are looking for it to be. If you want a low cost/power NAS check out a Synology like this one. http://amzn.com/B005YW7OLM

Synology's use ARM procs like the RPi does but has very mature NAS software that can run torrents, and even Plex Media Server, but... It doesn't have enough CPU to transcode.

I believe it's the DS212j- http://www.amazon.com/Synology-DiskStation-Diskless-Network-Attached/dp/B005YW7OLM.

I've got two.. either 2.5 or 3tb drives in it (Raid 1). It's incredibly set and forget.

I just have a Synology DS212j. Threw a 2TB harddrive in there and configured everything through the software on the NAS itself. In retrospect, I'd probably go for the DS214Play model because the CPU is better and could probably run Plex pretty well. Mine can't handle Plex, but that's ok because it supports DLNA without it.

Wow.

Honestly that's a lot more than I was looking for. I know I can build a full blown machine to do everything I need, but I was kind of thinking about something like this...

Western Digital My Book Live 2 TB Personal Cloud Storage Drive

or

D-Link DNS-320 ShareCenter 2-Bay Network Storage Enclosure

or

Synology DiskStation 2-Bay (Diskless) Network Attached Storage DS212j (White)

Any thoughts concerning stuff like this? Low budget and low maintenance.

It's not the cheapest option, but I use a synology NAS with two HDD's in it. They're mirrored so if one fails, then I'll still have all of my data backed up. Synology products have a web interface for your media, which is how I access my stuff on my Chromebook. (It's wireless bc it's plugged into my wireless router)

$199 Synology 2-bay NAS and a 2TB HDD.

u/JACK_DAGNIELS · 1 pointr/buildapc

Actually, I think I might skip the WD NAS and upgrade to the Synology DS212j. Looking through a few reviews from both experts and customers, this NAS seems to be VERY highly rated and decently priced on Amazon for what it's capable of.

There are some specs on it here and it seems like it is capable of fulfilling all of my needs. What do you think?

Anyway, if I went this route, I guess my main concern would be finding cheap-ish 1Tb or 2Tb HDD's. The most I've seen are around $100 + tax, but are there any that would be cheaper?

Thanks!!!
