Just went on to Dabs and spotted this: http://www.dabs.ie/products/seagate-4tb--2-x-2tb--2-bay-business-storage-nas-8MYX.html?src=2

Seems OK value, as it seems to come with 2 x 2TB drives?

-Edit- Hmm, it appears to have more bad reviews than good, think i'll give it a miss: http://www.amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/B00B7EJ5ZO/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1

If its mainly for films and TV,
Highly recommend getting a raspberry pi with XBMC. approx. 64 euro
Superb player, will handle HD files, mkv's everything and XBMC is superb
Just hook it upto any cheap NAS.
I have an old 500mb buffalo linkstation with a bit torrent client, al hidden behind a Samsung TV

Samsung TV means the raspberry can be controlled the tv remote

Whatever nas you get, a torrent client is essential

Thanks for the links folks, about to click and do a bit of reading

Re. the Microserver - Good idea which i'd considered, but for this application, I think I just want a no-nonsense NAS box as it's just file storage
