How I Set Up My Home Network – NAS and Raspberry Pi

Interesting comment!

I like my NAS setup because it's silent (++), easy to manage and it has a really nice Web interface, but you're right your home made server is much more powerfull and flexible and will always be.

Also I tried Plex on the Pi, but it's too slow (there is even a port for the Pi http://rasplex.com/) and it needs the server part of Plex to run on the NAS... at the end it's too much of a burden compared to XBMC for the little Pi.

I totally agree, you should try an Android TV stick with Plex app on (see my comment above)

The N40L is pretty dam silent, it just sits behind my couch. Uses a touch more power but it doesn't struggle like those NAS's sometimes do with certain apps.

I definitively want to try those Android Stick!
