Thanks for the feed-back,I may well go for the Qnap.
The ReadyNAS is quite noisy, so for me it's a non-starter as I want the
server in my living room.
The only other option I'm considering is to build my own server from a
barebones computer. Anyone go this route?

You are wrong - the ReadyNAS is VERY noisy! Think jet engine and you
are close. The only way to consider owning one is if you can put it in
a garage, loft or cellar. And I am not kidding as I have both!
This is not true of my ReadyNAS NV. I have it set up as a 2 Tb RAID
5, and although you can hear the fan whir from a few feet away if
it's quiet, it certainly is not loud. I can't speak for the other
ReadyNAS products, but the NV is by no means invariably loud.
