PacketMan Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 Hi all, hope this is not an 'out of scope' topic for this forumn. i've got a Cisco Linksys NAS (actually called a Network Storage System) from a few years ago and it blows. It works I suppose but its really really slow, and limited. I am thinking I might like to buy something new and 'amazing' so to speak. I know some of the new NASs support the installation (or come pre-installed) with a uTorrent client I have read, but I don't trust marketing material. So, on that note, can some of you tell me about the NAS you are using and why you love it with Bittorrent products? My NAS feature list would be:Gigabit NIC, and actually allow close to wire rate speed.Fully compatiable with latest DLNA, and streams popular media file formats.Media transcoder would be sweet.Great built in FTP server. RCP (Secure FTP) would be a bonus.UPnP.Windows SMB (all versions?)Full file management support (copy, move, delete) viaweb access through http.HTTPS would be ideal.Great backup utility software included.2 to 4 drive baysAllow various modes of RAID, including combining them all into one logical drive.Maybe some scheduling/automation tools.Other tools like drive checking, DDNS, power save, NTP, email alerting.Various user accounts / access controlMaybe management software, and cute little Systray icon that can be installed on other PC. And of course, last but not least, come with an OS that allows me to install BT/uTorrent, and BT Sync would be awesome. Thanks again all,Packet Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PacketMan Posted May 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 I've decided to learn FreeBSD and take it from there. Thank you all for your help so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
