Firstly thanks to all contributors to the thread, some great reading.

I got myself a popcorn hour c200 a few months back. To be honest I am a bit disappointed but that is probably due to me expecting the machine to do more than it does. I find that the software is a bit hit n miss on it. I have got it setup ok managed to get SabNzb up and running, but it just decides some days its not gonna work and other days it does lol. So I think I am gonna get a Nas drive and go on from there. i think I will just keep the popcorn and have it connected to the Nas.

My mate has a 4 bay buffalo link station and it seems to work well. He says it requiress modified firmware to use sab etc so I have been looking at the synology range. They seem to do pretty much everything I need. i was looking at the Synology DiskStation DS212j and was wondering if this would be a good choice. Or is there anything else out there i shoud consider.

Also in these times of spiralling costs Argos are doing 1TB usb extenal drive for £46. item number 683/3329

Thanks
