I've decided to use my laptop for now and possibly build a HTPC down the line as the server so the NAS I get doesn't need to do any trascoding. That being said I will want to run stuff on the NAS like torrenting, Coach potato, things like that. I'm pretty green when it comes to the hardware stuff.
Does it matter which NAS i choose? I still want it powerful enough to do those other things. Strong, quick read and write speeds.
Anyone have any recommendations? I plan on having it for awhile.
Budget isn't really an issue but I just don't want to over spend if it's pointless.
