Decent review, basically a NAS device for the house + alot more. I use it to catalog movies and tv shows (video station is bad ass, does it all automatically based on file name), share music out to devices in the house via wifi. Download torrents, have dropbox running (via 3rd party app), surveillance camera storage, remote storage for pc's in the house, VPN to the house, etc.
Was going to buy the smaller version, 5 disk bay, but got an 8 bay open boxed on newegg for roughly the same price as a new 5 disk bay.
Lots of synology apps available + 3rd party apps.
