A year later, I'm giving this thread a bump as I'm looking for a nice, fast NAS for our office here. We currently use a DNS-323 and I actually quite enjoy it, but I'm looking to add another one to physically separate some of our files up.
Our office is only 3-4 employees, but we all have our email (Thunderbird) stored on the NAS, which slows things down a little. So ideally, I'd like to have the email on one, and the other files on the other.
All of that being said, I have traditionally avoided a proper server approach as I figured that it would be overkill for our small office. The NAS solution is nice, compact, and basically gets the job done. My thinking (perhaps incorrectly) is that I should just buy a new, fast NAS and split the files and bandwidth across the two devices and we'd probably be made in the shade. Thoughts?
