Hi guys, seen this, seems a good price. Anyone had experience with these? I want to use it as a Media server for the house to stream movies and have a hard drive already to install:

Or is there a better device for around similar price range?

Thanks

    I own one , a dns 310 (or 320l) yup it works but the transfer rate to and from it is slow the price has dropped a lot since I bought mine late last year


    I have 2 x 2t wd reds in mine


    the cpu used is fairly low powered , but for £40 and an old drive its worth it


    plan b: might be to try a usb caddy for your drive and see if your router has a usb socket
