I really just use them for personal stuff.

I have close to 1.3tb of music files (CD rip in Flac) I have quite a bit of movies and PVR tv shows that I watch.

I also store all my DSLR camera raw files along with the processing images, .PS files etc..

My first NAS was a cheep Dlink unit (that I still have but don't use). it was junk and learnt me that you get what you pay for. You can make your own NAS pretty easily but you sort of need to know what you are doing and get ZERO support.

I went with Snyology as the forum was pretty good. The user interface was the best out there and it's geared towards a higher end home user.

I started off with a 2bay, then got a second 2bay then this past year picked up the 4bay.
