From the ones you've selected, I would suggest 1) NetGear 2) Synology I'd probably look for a 4bay unit myself .... more disks = better RAID protection and faster access times ... so 4 x 1TB disk or 4 x 2TB disk ... think about data growth / and also sprawl ... and maybe, buy something to back it up Both the models above are diskless - so factor in cost of HDD to prices shown. Pretty straight forward stuff .... check out website for support on each, both a pretty good with support over here. Just using it for add storage or any other purpose? Pretty niffty some if these NAS drives now ... with the LG one, put all your movies, music, pictures, porn whatever on it .. connect to your router ...access the information ANYWHERE you have internet access!!! Think Synology and Netgear offer this ... just that LG have an "app" for theirs .... EVERYONE will have one in the near future, excellnt peice of equip.

A dual-layer disc can hold 50GB. To ensure that the Blu-ray Disc format is easily extendable (future-proof) it also includes support for multi-layer discs, which should allow the storage capacity to be increased to 100GB-200GB (25GB per layer) in the future simply by adding more layers to the discs.

Where the cheap one will lack is using them for media streaming they don't do a great job of being a server. When you use one you have to keep in mind what type of raid your going to use. Read up on that very important to know that to be redundant on a nas you will really need a 4 bay unit. 2 bay units simple do not give you the redundancy and storgae you think you will need. I use a jobd raid and that 2 2 tb so I have 4 tb of stge. Another thing is alot of nas will use the smallest HD size as your double. so if you use a 5oo gig and a 1tb HD it will only see 2 5oo gig HD. Get compicated I guess. Now for cloud Stge . Microsoft gives you 25 gig for free. Not sure what your looking at but remember unlimited cloud storge means you have to get thet info up to the cloud. A TB of data could take you years to get it up there depending on your bandwith. I would advise you to use cloud stge for what really important and back your data up on external HD for the big stuff.
