That's also what the Synology DS214 I was looking at has.

WD is okay. ReadyNAS and Synology are the best in the category. Nothing wrong with the WD, but it's a lower end device generally. But your needs are extremely basic. So nothing wrong with it.

Only two drives, so no parity overhead, and they sure don't brag about 512 MB

Ok, thank you very much

Drobo, for example, would be just fine here too.

I mean how much could it cost to go to 1GB for them?
-
@BRRABill Can't be more than $2!! Right? Memory at that size is so freaking cheap!! Seems like 2GB would be a more logical minimum size.

$2 multiplied by 500,000 units - not going to happen lol

You can easily charge $3 for that kind of upgrade, though!!

Then how do you upgrade them to the WD My Cloud EX5?
