Which NAS? Drobo, Qnap, Thecus, Netgear?

[Marjorie]

The space available inside a PC is limited . In addition , the average user does not perhaps want to get their hands dirty in order to add a hard drive configuration that runs " in millipoil " and risking the damage . In fact , the solution of the SIN is an alternative that is gaining credibility every day , and despite a relatively high cost . So i want to use NAS (Network Storage System ). I want to know that which one is best Drobo, Qnap, Thecus, Netgear? Please suggest. Thanks in advance
