What's the point of comparing 4 bay NAS to 7 bay with Core2Duo CPU and 4GB of RAM?

Nevertheless this unit struggles a bit… £510 can be spend easily on self-build machine.

The point is to give you some idea of comparative performance. :)

I am looking to buy a 4 bay NAS to run as RAID 5 for home (I am paranoid about losing date particularly phots)

I have a simple question. In terms of HD playback what sort of speed should I be looking for say to handle 2 members of family both playing an HD video stored on the NAS?

anything like this or even a decent server will be able to stream multi 1080P content. Sadly my WHS can't for some reason.
