Best Network Attached Storage (NAS) Servers.

[DMYTRO]

I have got several PCs in my network at office and I am looking for good network- attached storage (NAS) server/device. I have heard some NAS server provides just a shared volume for taking back ups and to share files across the network, while there are few high end servers which do a lot from sharing a printer among various networked computers to streaming audio/video. So I wanted to know brief detail about such NAS servers currently popular and available. If anybody has got any information, please help me.

I have come across these three NAS servers
Synology Disk Station DS710+
It is for those users who have got a sound knowledge about networking. It makes a brilliant MAS server for any conditions. It works the best for small-business applications.
HP MediaSmart EX495 Server
The pricing is reasonable and it is perfect for storing data in network, managing contents and taking back-up of devices for any home or small business conditions. The back up solution and the remote access is easy to understand and use.
Synology DS209+ NAS server
It is pretty expensive then its other counterparts but it provides with almost all the features ever needed in a NAS server.
