The unit--available at this writing for around $700--is also the sturdiest and quite possibly the best-looking such box I've had my hands on. You also can't beat it's HTML configuration interface for looks or ease of learning and use. But none of that compares to the N4B1's most outstanding feature: an integrated Blu-ray burner, unique among NAS products in the SMB/SOHO market. Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:00:00 GMT (Jon L.

Testing found that the drive meets all the specs the company pitches, it is indeed easy to use, and convenient, but it lacks throughput and carries a high price tag.
