    Need a high-capacity (16TB+) NAS for storing and serving media

Not really ideal. I want all of that stored in one place. I don't know what to get, though. There's a ton of options for 2-bay NAS, but the capacity is just not enough for me. I need a 4-bay NAS that can be upgraded, I think. There's quite a few of those, too, but I've been reading all sorts of horror stories about crappy support from QNAP and Synology. Anyone have experience with this? Halp!

    Corsair Announces Availability of High-Capacity Force Series GT SSDs

    I wouldn't call 180 and 240 gb high capacity, but it's a step in the right direction.

    NAS drives redesignated as Media

    Hi I have 3 or 4 NAS drives (for Back Ups and Files) Normally they are listed under "Network" but they are now listed as media devices and so I cannot open them to see files. One is a Seagate and the others are Buffalo. How can I reset them to be NAS devices please - Thanks Jean

    +80TB NAS

    Yea, I'm really late to this party, but what about a desktop NAS?

    https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822107342

    It lists a max capacity of 64 TB, but then goes on with this:
