Ebuyer now down to £80!

If anyone is thinking about getting a decent NAS they should look at this instead, 4 hot swap bays and a decent CPU (well, for a NAS!)

They are great little machines, mines been running 24/7 since September. Probably needs more ram if you want to run virtual machines, but I'm running windows 7 on mine and it's fine.

Thanks for the reply, mine was delivered and found a hacked bios to enable the e-sata port on the back. I tried to install Citrix Xenserver without success as the hardware does not support the AMD V or Intel VTD needed. To make things worse I brought a non UK model which was pointed out by HP when trying claim the cash back. However I have been offered either a full refund or £50.00 cash back from servers direct. I should have gone to Ebuyer and this would not have happened.

I heard about the cashback :(

How are you finding it? I can't find another for close to what the £50 payoff will get you back, so I guess it depends how much you need it if you'd return and hope for another offer. I love mine, sits in the attic doing all my slightly dodgy stuff for me so its all waiting each day when I get home. Sickbeard especially is amazing, gets all my TV shows without me asking. I'm wishing I'd got something with a bit more grunt, as transcoding to my android stick is a bit glitchy at times, but I'm in the process of converting all my media into a streamable format anyway so that will fix the problem.
